Since then the United Sikh Mission has set up camps anywhere from 5 - 10 - 25 camps each year. This year a Fund Raising Dinner was held at the "Diamond Palace Indian Cuisine" in Diamond Bar, California on Friday, June 28, 2012 at 7:00 pm with a goal to raise $200,000.00 to set up at least 40 camps this October 2012. This sincere objective to serve the community has been tremendously rewarding. It is some sense of satisfaction to give a gift of vision to your fellow beings. The evening was a very successful findraising Event with an outstanding response. 

Dr Amarjit Singh Marwah chaired the Fund Raising Function of United Sikh Mission in which large number of Professionals, Business Entrepreneurs and Academicians participated. He appreciated the great philanthropic work being done by United Sikh Mission in the remote Villages of Punjab by way of Eye Camps and Health Camps which help the poor and needy people of Punjab in getting or regaining the bliss of their Visions to happily see the World again. The laudable Contribution of S Rashpal Singh Dhindsa as the Kingpin of these humanitarian Programs was highlighted in this context. He is Chairman of United Sikh Mission. Whereas more than 70 Eye Camps have already been successfully conducted by USM in India from 2006 to 2011, the marvelous support of holding 40 Camps in the Current Year 2012 was mustered in the very nicely arranged Function of 29th June. The 35 Donors of the 2011 Camps and Supporters of USM were honored by way of Commendation Plaques. There was great enthusiasm by the new Donors for the planned 51 Camps of 2012.

Sh. Amit Gosain, vice president of BJP Youth , Punjab and Grandson of the Punjab’s earlier Health Minister Sh. Satpal Gosain made a very impressive Presentation regarding the helpful role of Punjab Government in supporting the Humanitarian Ventures and Missions like the praiseworthy United Sikh Mission USA and assured substantial support in the 2012 Eye and Health Camps of USM scheduled for oncoming October and November 2012.

S Pritam Singh made highly impressive presentation regarding the Background, Achievements and Goals of United Sikh Mission which greatly motivated the potential Donors for the future Camps/Programs.

Representing the Donors, S Iqbal Singh Samra shared the first hand experiences of the Eye Camps already conducted in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh in India and their great benefits to the really needy people suffering from Visionary Impairments.

Mr. Michael Singh, the great Hollywood Film Maker shared his personal motivating experiences from India which he gained in the course of his dedicated Video Coverage of the Eye & Health Camps in Punjab & UP for months together and showed the very nicely prepared Movie on the 2011 Camps.

The MC (Master of the Ceremony) Mrs Asha Sharma did a tremendous job keeping the crowd pledged.
