The community is invited to a new, exciting upcoming event called “Night of a Thousand Lights,” an inaugural Diwali gala, being hosted by the newly registered nonprofit organization, the Prosperity Academy. It will be held at the National Polo Center in Wellington on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m.
Created by local business leader Sherron Permashwar, the Prosperity Academy is dedicated to ending the financial literacy crisis by empowering other nonprofit organizations through hands-on education, community support and generational wealth-building. The nonprofit’s goal is to break cycles of poverty, one community at a time. Permashwar’s motto is, “We don’t just give a fish, we teach how to fish.”
The Hindu holiday of Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” is celebrated for conquering darkness and triumphing over struggle, which is the mission of the Prosperity Academy.
The community is welcome to join in a night of culture and community while investing in the future of youth and families. Tickets are $150 per person and will benefit the programs, tools and resources needed to teach those in need. To purchase tickets to the Oct. 18 gala, or to learn more about the Prosperity Academy, visit www.theprosperityacademy.org.
