Jazz for Peace

You are cordially invited to Our Seminar and Jazz Concert entitled Time to Deliver.       AIDS was unfathomable in 1981 when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control published its now famous report describing the death of five gay men in Los Angeles from a rare form of pneumonia. The lethal new virus that terrorized the U.S. gay community that summer has since transformed the world, our culture and our lives.   Some 25 million men, women and children have died, 40 million more are now infected and the plague is still expanding and Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 73% (25.8 Million) of the people living with HIV.   To do our part combat this plague as it enters its 25th year, Jazz for Peace, the Embassy of Benin and Ambassador C. Oguin and The Foundation will have a special Jazz concert and seminar on Friday August 4, 2006 from 5 PM to 9 PM at Cada Vez Restaurant 1438 U Street, N.W. Washington D.C. The purpose of this event is simple: to increase community awareness about the effect of HIV/AIDS on the African continent and to raise money in support of The Foundation’s mission to helping rural Sub-Saharan African communities scale up prevention interventions.    I ask that you consider supporting this event by purchasing (or sponsoring) a pair (or two pairs) of tickets at $25 each – a $10 ($20) savings! This special discount is available until July 24, 2006.  For more tickets please contact us at -1 800 342 4575 / info@aglobalhf.org.   Co-sponsored by the United States Mission to the UN on Sept. 25, 2002, the “Jazz for Peace Concert,” featuring renowned Jazz vocalist Rick DellaRatta, has since been recognized worldwide as “one of the single most significant cultural events of our time” and has led to a benefit concert series that raised funds and awareness for over 300 non-profit organizations.   I would like to thank you for your time! If you do decide to attend, I assure you that you will enjoy yourself!  If you are unable to attend but would like to sponsor somebody, please send your donation to the address below.
