It’s heartwarming to see our members and friends come together in times of need, especially so close to Thanksgiving. CAPE and Verizon decided to forego our annual holiday party and instead use the funds towards an emergency Philippines Typhoon Relief Fundraiser. IW Group also made a cash contribution in lieu of client gift giving. On behalf of the CAPE Board of Directors, the CAPE Council of Advisors, and myself, I’d like to thank each of you for helping us raise over $29,000 for Philippines Typhoon Relief.

A special thank you to CAPE Advisor Dean Devlin who provided matching funds for money raised at the event, which literally doubled our efforts. None of this would be possible without the support of the following people:
Major Cash Donors: Dean Devlin, Verizon, IW Group, Albert Cheng, Leo Chu, Eric Garcia, Chris Lee,Peter McHugh, Karen Moy

CAPE Emergency Typhoon Relief Committee: Peter McHugh, Fritz Friedman, Gene Eng, Asia Powell, Stephanie Pell, Ruben Nepales, Dean Devlin, Lou Diamond Phillips, Kevin Iwashina, Steve Tao, Bill Imada, Adele Yoshioka, Wenda Fong, Jennifer Sanderson

CAPE, Verizon, and IW Group also produced a PSA to assist in raising more funds. The PSA is currently airing on Verizon Fios and will bring in thousand more dollars for Philippines Typhoon Relief.
