Raksha’s Annual FundraiserEk Shaam Raksha Ke Naam
Raksha is pleased to invite you to participate in our annual fundraiser, Ek Shaam Raksha Ke
Naam (An Evening in the Name of Raksha). We are celebrating Raksha’s 21 years of
service to the community! Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 through this exciting
evening. Sponsoring this event can bring your organization tremendous exposure to the
fastest growing immigrant group in metro Atlanta while also bringing benefits to your fellow
residents in need of support. Raksha continues to be the only organization solely serving
the social needs of the South Asian population of at least 100,000 in metro Atlanta and
Georgia.
Raksha has grown from a small volunteer organization to a community-based agency that
plays a critical role in addressing violence against immigrant women and children. Raksha
offers crisis intervention and long-term therapeutic counseling to adult domestic violence
survivors and children who have witnessed or experienced violence. We enrich our clients
by providing economic empowerment assistance in the form of resume writing, job
readiness training and start-up business counseling as well as medical and legal advocacy,
language interpretation and youth programming. As the only non-profit organization
focused on improving the lives of South Asians impacted by violence, our resources are
stretching thin as the need for our services grows.
This year, the event will consist of live comedy act, dinner, and a silent auction.
Sponsorship of this event will offer an excellent opportunity to market your services to tens
of thousands of South Asian community members through print, web and event exposure.
As Raksha strives to be a source of support for all South Asians who need a helping hand,
we are in need of your help. Your financial contribution will go towards funding the free
services Raksha provides to the community.
Enclosed you will find an overview of Raksha’s accomplishments as well as details
regarding various sponsorship opportunities. We urge you to take this opportunity to partner
with Raksha and make a difference. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact us. Thank you in advance for partnering with us to open doors to a stronger and
healthier South Asian Community.
Sincerely,
Aparna Bhattacharyya

Featuring
Rajiv Satyal – The Funny Indian
Rajiv Satyal is a Los Angeles-based comedian/host. His TV-clean act has made him one of the
most versatile comedians working today. Satyal opened for Indian Prime Minister Narendra
Modi in front of 17,000 people, created the massively viral I AM INDIAN video, which was shared
by Bollywood stars and used to introduce the Indian Prime Minister in Shanghai and Dubai, and
has opened for Russell Peters more than any other Indian comedian. Rajiv even hosted Dave
Chappelle’s very first show after his much-publicized African hiatus.
Satyal performs weekly at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood. He has garnered 50 million+ online
views and been featured on/in NBC, NPR, Nickelodeon, Fx, Netflix, Bob & Tom, Times Now, Zee
TV, Pandora, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Variety, Advertising Age, The Times
of India, The Huffington Post, and The LA Times.
Rajiv has performed on three continents and co-created the world-touring Make Chai Not War, a
Hindu/Muslim stand-up show sponsored by the U.S. State Dept.
Rajiv wrote No Man’s Land, a 100-minute one-person show about his dating life that sold out all
performances from LA to NY to San Francisco to Cincinnati. This show actually led to Satyal’s
marriage, which itself had a comedic arc: Rajiv proposed to his girlfriend while opening for
Kevin Nealon, and at his wedding, Russell Peters finally opened for him.
