A successful end to 2013

Happy New Year! We look forward to another prosperous year working with you to support the best and brightest in our community.

Two great events to cap off 2013:
  1. Our second annual Open House took place in Bethesda, Maryland on November 9. Two members of the Class of 2017, Shobhit Jain and Sarwat Siddiqui, attended the event and spoke about their backgrounds and ambitions. We had a great turnout and saw firsthand the value that the Upakar scholarship can provide. 
  2. The eighth annual South Asian Art Show took place over two weekends in December due to inclement weather. Thanks to our board members who helped plan and reschedule this popular event. Great artwork on display and sale for a great cause -- how can you beat it?
Thank you for your continued support. On to 2014!
