NEW HOPE CHARITIES ADDS SPICE TO SPRING FIESTA

WELLINGTON, Fla. - March 22, 2008 - New Hope Charities, Inc. celebrated the season with its second Latin-themed Fiesta Fundraiser.

The March 22th event, held at the home of Michele and Rodney Poole, netted in excess of $17,000 for underprivileged children and families in Western Palm Beach County.

This was a great night, with dancing, excellent food and wonderful people. The event included a silent auction where one can find everything from a basket of 'Spirits', to exotic jewlry, art and much more. "

Funds raised will continue to support the charity's Education Center near Pahokee, which opened in October 2007 and provides brand new classrooms, a clinic, a computer lab, and a fully functioning lending library.

Guests at the event -- sponsored by Florida Crystals Corporation, Optima Fund Management and Bacardi USA -- enjoyed an authentic Latin buffet and danced the night away to music. The evening featured the opportunity to win exciting trips to the exclusive Dominican resort Casa de Campo donated by the Fanjul family and to a North Carolina vacation home donated by Michele and Rodney Poole. A charter fishing trip was also generously provided by Maria and Eddie Becker.
