Sales rep sponsors Ethiopian Summer Festival
Joseph T-Giorgis, a sales rep with Sutton Group Medallion Realty, was a Gold sponsor of the second annual Ethiopian Summer Festival recently in Burnaby, B.C. The event featured a Wubit cultural show and numerous other dance and musical performances, a soccer tournament, arts and crafts vendors and a children’s activity area.
T-Giorgis says he is pleased to lend his time and financial support to this unique cultural festival. “Building a sense of community is easy but maintaining that sense of community is difficult in a fast-paced society like ours. These kinds of events reflect and create the atmosphere to come together and become one, based on something we share. The food, the music, meeting new friends and finding long lost friends is a bonus. That is why I want to be part of this event.”
In addition to donating $500 to help bring the festival to an estimated 3,000 attendees, he has volunteered on a scholarship committee. “The committee is working hard to raise funds to promote and support academic interests. Our goal is to award scholarships to post secondary students in the community.”
