Through organized fundraising appeals and events such as af'ri·ka, the Michael "Pinball" Clemons Foundation strives to make substantial contributions to local health, human resources, education and character building programs that serve our community. Last year, the Foundation donated funds to build homes with Habitat for Humanity, awarded scholarships to many local centres of education, including The George Brown College Foundation, and placed over 100 computers in the homes of students in the GTA whose families are financially challenged.

In addition to these long term commitments this year we have chosen to assist in another special cause. Along with Free The Children, we challenge you to join us in providing the basic level of education that all children deserve by building schools and sustainable education programming in four under resourced countries.

Come dressed for a safari adventure, enjoy a glass of tribal brew and immerse yourself in the spirit of African-inspired food and culture. The excitement begins the minute you enter the VIP jungle reception where you will mingle with celebrities and community leaders! The evening will feature a live auction, raffle, a truly inspiring key note speaker and live performances.

Let's truly unite to reach one common goal - to help the youth in our communities and beyond!
