The India Society of Worcester (ISW) raised more than $385,000 at its annual gala on September 21, 2024, at Mechanics Hall. The funds will be used to pay off the remaining loan from the 8,000-square-foot expansion of the India Center, completed in 2021.
“We are deeply grateful for the generosity of our community. With the funds raised, ISW will soon be debt-free, allowing us to focus entirely on expanding our services and programs,” said Dr. Sanjay Shah, gala fundraising chair.
