For nearly two decades, Bharat Lall has served as the founding president and CEO of Pinnacle Hotels USA in San Diego, where he specializes in restoring distressed hotel properties in promising areas. A committed philanthropist, Bharat Lall is a longtime supporter of BAPS Charities.
In August of 2017, Hurricane Harvey ravaged Houston, Texas, causing upwards of $200 billion in damage. In December, BAPS Charities was in the Cinco Ranch Canyon Gate area of the city to help with recovery efforts.
Volunteers were on hand to assess the most important needs in the area, the most significant of which was drywall material to replace the soiled and molding walls in flooded homes. BAPS has spent more than 8,000 volunteer hours putting approximately 3,000 new sheets of drywall into more than 50 homes since arriving on the scene. The organization has also helped feed residents, serving approximately 4,500 hot meals.
