Dr. Tareen's legacy lives on with successful Tulipathon

The Multifaith Housing Initiative's Annual Tulipathon raised $32,000 to support the building of more affordable housing in Ottawa. Several Muslim organizations participated in the fundraiser including the Ottawa Muslim Women's Organization (OMWO), the South Nepean Muslim Community (SNMC), Masjid Bilal, Cordova Academy, and the Ottawa Muslim Association (OMA).

The late Dr. Farouk Tareen had proposed the idea of the Tulipathon in 2007. To honour his legacy, the Dr. Farouk Tareen Tulipathon Award is awarded to the faith community that raises the most money at the event. This year's winner was St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church. {sidebar id=11}
