The Committee of French-Speaking Societies (CAF) is committed to a number of charitable endeavors promoting French language and culture in our city, and aiding French-Americans in need. Past beneficiaries have included dual language programs in NYC public Schools.

CAF is pleased to announce that a portion of our evening's proceeds will benefit the Entraide Française as well as the NY French American Charter School in Harlem, NY.

L'Entraide Française, Inc.

L'Entraide Française is a not- for profit organization founded in 1961 whose mission is to provide financial and emotional support to French-American families who are suddenly facing serious economic or domestic problems. L'Entraide Française assists the elderly, children and families in extreme distress. It recently played a central role, helping French tourists stranded in the NY area as a result of the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
