AFC's 3rd Annual Holiday Benefit.

On December 12, 2009 Artists for Charity, an organization that supports orphans in Ethiopia, raised over $23,000 in Washington DC, according to the founder of the organization, Abezash Tamerat. She thanked the donors and the people who assisted her to coordinate the event.

“Our heartfelt appreciation and deepest gratitude also goes out to our artists, sponsors and volunteers, who donated their art work, resources and time, respectively. We especially want to thank our Washington-D.C.-based AFC team for their hard work on arranging this event, and for making it all come together. This event would have been impossible without their creativity, hard work and dedication.”
