Mongolia's first lady visits Denver for fundraiser to deliver medical supplies to her country

DENVER — Mongolia's first lady is visiting Denver for a fundraiser to send medical supplies and equipment to her country's hospitals and clinics.

Bolormaa Khajidsuren was scheduled to be at the luncheon Friday organized by Project CURE. The Colorado-based nonprofit has previously hosted similar fundraisers for first ladies from Mexico, El Salvador, Ghana, Tanzania, Belize and Panama.

Combined, the past fundraisers have enabled the nonprofit to deliver more than $11 million in supplies to the countries of visiting first ladies.

Organizers say they hope to raise enough money to deliver more than $2 million in medical supplies and equipment to Mongolia.

About 1,800 city and state business leaders were expected at the luncheon.
