The
African Development Foundation and the 2nd Annual Dinner,
“Touch your Dreams”
NYC, Ghanadot-
On Saturday June 16, 2007 The African Development Foundation
held a fundraiser dinner at the Marriott Marquis, NY. |
|
 |
The goal for the 2007 ADF fundraising dinner was to raise $1
million toward building a designated sports field, as well
as a baseball academy to help make Ghana a center for
baseball development in West Africa.
To begin the campaign, the foundation kicked-off this
memorable and emotional evening with a cocktail reception at
6:00 p.m. and dinner at |
|
President and founder of ADF George Ntim |
|
7:00 p.m. bringing
together an array of celebrities and dignitaries
from The United States and Africa.
The event was called “Touch your dreams.” There were many
guests from all walks of life who attended the event in
support of the ADF, including superstars from Major League
Baseball, such as Darryl Strawberry, Carlos Beltran, Willie
Randolph and, U.S Ambassador to Ghana Pamela Bridgewater.
President and founder of ADF George Ntim spoke to the guests
saying, “We are so excited about this year’s honorees. They
include: Jonnie “Dusty” Baker, Al Jackson, Reggie Smith, Bob
Watson, and Mariano Rivera. Many of them helped to improve
the lives of children in Africa, and who have done much to
further the causes of ADF.”
The evening was full of joy and excitement as a live band
played music and people mingled and enjoyed the occasion as
silent and live auctions with unique sports memorabilia went
on.
The ADF is an international non-profit organization, created
to garner goodwill and strengthen relationships between The
United States and Africa through youth-oriented initiatives.
It was founded in 2003 and its objective is to provide
African youths with computer training, health-related
resources, and recreational outlet. With the help from
concerned individuals, organizations and corporate sponsors,
we are proud to serve disadvantaged African youths that are
eager to learn and deserve the pleasures of recreation.
