LAUNCHING IAPF at CITY GALA 2017 on GRAMMY Weekend w/ JOHN TRAVOLTA, QUINCY JONES, ANTHONY MACKIE, HALLE BERRY & JOHN PAUL DeJORIA
Presented by Entrepreneur during the weekend of the 59th Grammy Awards, we held our first fundraiser for our International Arts & Philanthropy Foundation at City Summit & Gala 2017.
In association with Daniely Design Group, Allure Events & Catering and Brigade LA, the weekend featured iconic guest speakers and honored guests who came out to support the funding needs of our organization, and those of our recipients including Quincy Jones Foundation, Breed Life, and Passion 4 K.I.D.S.
I co-founded International Arts & Philanthropy Foundation (IAPF) to support outstanding non-profits across a wide range of philanthropic efforts working to meet the Goals For Sustainable Development that global leaders agreed to for a better world by 2030. These goals have the power to end poverty, fight inequality and stop climate change. Guided by the goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.
In addition to serving as fiscal sponsor to start-up charities like Breed Life and my Always In The Club Foundation/Project:NOW, IAPF also partners with organizations to help with their fundraising initiatives.
THANK YOU so much to all of our sponsors for helping us realize this amazing weekend of philanthropy and social impact! Now come on inside the City Summit & Gala 2017…
