SWWICCA accepts donations and sponsorship 
Being a small Indian community in this area, it is always challenging to raise enough funds only by selling tickets to organize events. Swwicca encourages more people to attend the event and enjoy cultural programs by keeping the event pricing low or free entry. We therefore rely on few local sponsors and donations to help us with the expenditure gap. The collected donations are put to good use for better organize events such as Diwali, Navaratri, picnic and social welfare programs. Please contact swwicca committee members to donate or sponsorship.
