Over 150 people packed the Foundation Lounge to celebrate a year of dynamic programming and support a breakthrough film festival in Cairo. The event featured gourmet cuisine at one of Boston’s premier lounges and cutting-edge world music by the acclaimed DJ Zaur - plus a fashion show blending styles from across the Muslim world. A brief ceremony featured Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley (standing in for Mike Ross) and awards recognizing outstanding community leaders. A charity raffle included items donated by an array of local businesses.
