An update on the event last month to raise funds for the family of cartoonist Said Rahimi, who was killed last January. Somehow I missed the coverage of this event, which cartoonist Graeme MacKay rounds-up on his blog. There is even tv coverage.
Over 200 people attended the event on Saturday June 23rd to honour the life of Shiragha Rahimi, celebrate his cartoons, and raise funds for the post-secondary education of the seven children he left behind when he was killed in a car accident in January. Early estimates suggest the event raised over $10,000.
