As part of Art of Living Foundation Silver Jubilee celebrations and as
part of a multi-city ‘Cirque de Magic’ fundraising tour, the Boston
area hosted the world-famous magician, Simon Winthrop along with
Cirque-Style performers from Las Vegas for an exciting and entertaining
Magical Performance on December 9th.
The event happened at
MIT's Kresge Auditorium and was locally sponsored by the Art of Living
@ MIT (a Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Student Group) and the
proceeds went directly to the Art of Living Foundation’s ‘One World
Family Fund’.
With more than 800 people in attendance, it was a
show of a life time from acts defying gravity, involving illusion, card
tricks, knotting rings and changing money. The magicians, the acrobat,
the dancers and the juggler amazed, amused, involved and energized the
audience. Each and every act was new, unique and mind-boggling.
The emcees for the program were Mrinalini Gadkari and Jonathan Tang.
They were supported by a number of core volunteers who made sure that
the program was a huge success.
One World Family Fund:
The
One World Family Fund represents the largest global humanitarian
project ever undertaken. This consolidated centralized fund is being
used to support all Art of Living's internationally acclaimed
educational and humanitarian services, and social programs. It also
enables the Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) & International
Association of Human Values (IAHV) to develop long-term strategies that
will help extend its reach into the community and to respond
immediately to global disasters and situations as needed.
