Dear Friends, members
As you all are aware, C.I.F. was unable to award scholarships to students this year as a result of insufficient funds caused by the cancellation of the Nowruz Festival and Nowruz Gala as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, thanks to the generous donations of our friends and sponsors, C.I.F has managed to raise almost enough money to run its scholarship programme this year also. We require only $2000 more to be able to provide meaningful scholarships to post-secondary students. A generous donation has been made of a beautiful work of art by Master Houshang Seyhoun to be put on raffle in order to raise the remaining funds. C.I.F. will be selling raffle tickets at the cost of $20 for one and $50 for three. To purchase tickets, please contact the Canadian Iranian Foundation’s voice mail:604-800-1977 or email at admin@cif-bc.com. All proceeds from this sale will benefit C.I.F.’s scholarship fund. Once the $2000 goal is reached, C.I.F. will proceed with the process of interviewing applicants and awarding scholarships.
