Funds are raised through annual    Open Your Heart to the Children Benefits in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Denver, Toronto, London and the Cayman Islands. To date they have raised almost $18 million dollars    and awarded more than 250 grants to organisations and professionals committed to protecting children from abuse and neglect.  <\/p>\n<p>    Guests will be entertained with a colourful performance by modern circus artists Cirque Le Masque, involving acrobatic dancing and special effects. Last November, the inaugural benefit dinner    raised a net total of $143,000 for the Cayman charity.  <\/p>\n<p>    Other upcoming events are being held in New York on October 4th in Tenjune; Chicago, October 5th, at the Carnivale; London on October 12th, at the Cafe de Paris; and in Atlanta, October 20th at    the Georgia Aquarium.

It is encouraging to see this development and, it has sparked our desire to raise even more money this year for future    programmes.\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d  <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">    Alex Akesson<br \/>    Contributing Writer<br \/>    HedgeCo.Net<br \/>    Email: <a href=\"mailto:Editor@hedgeco.net\">Editor@hedgeco.net<\/a>   <\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<p align=\"left\">      HedgeCo.Net is a premier hedge fund database and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
