DETROIT,- Southwest Solutions’ annual fundraising event, called “Solutions at Sunrise,” drew more than 750 people and
rave reviews from the attendees.
The breakfast event, now in its fourth year, took place on Wednesday, October 14 at the Ford Conference in Dearborn.
The program was themed “Building Community / Inspiring Change.” It featured testimonials from individuals whose lives have
been changed by Southwest Solutions, two short films, and speeches by leaders of the organization.
“We at Southwest have always been led by vision,” said John Van Camp, president of Southwest Solutions, at the event.
“We see the vision of a vibrant community in southwest Detroit, where an entrepreneurial spirit is taking root and bringing
new businesses, jobs and ideas.”

SOUTHWEST SOLUTIONS FUNDRAISER
A
udience response to the event
was universally positive. “It was
very impressive, inspiring and
motivational,” said Alice Thompson,
who attended the event for the first
time. “Southwest Solutions is doing the
John Van Camp, president of Southwest Solutions, and his wife Penny Bailer.
kind of work that truly builds communities.”
Testimonials about the effectiveness
of Southwest’s programs were given
by Bryan Goodman, Mariana Orozco
and Shirley Cockrel. Mariana spoke
about how the family literacy program
has enabled her to learn English and
help her children with their schoolwork.
“If my children are going to succeed, I
have to help them and encourage them
to study and work hard,” Mariana said.
“Southwest Solutions has given me the
tools I need to help my children.”
The fundraising event included a
new short film about the organization
called “Don’t Give Up.” The film received a very emotional reaction from the
audience. One of the stories in the film
documented a sad and difficult immigration situation faced by a Mexican
family in the family literacy program.
The film can be seen by clicking the link
on the “Solutions at Sunrise” website
page: www.swsol.org/annual.php. The
film is also posted on the Southwest
Solutions Facebook page.
“Solutions at Sunrise” is built around
Table Captains who recruit friends, family and colleagues to join them at a
table of ten. Eighty different Table Captains participated in this year’s event,
including Elias Gutiérrez, president
and publisher of Latino Press.
