Recently in USA, there has been huge increase in crimes against the community. We also gave report on how High school students are bullying Sikh students.
So inorder to reduce the hate crimes, they have decided to provide awareness. This is the first time, Sikhs have raised such a huge amount of money to spread the awareness. The previous record was 90,000$ in NSC's Los Angeles.
And due to this fund raising gala, television advertisements were created and they were telecasted in San Francisco Bay Area. Former President Obama's campaign media team did the campaign.
