TFFT Young Founders' Cocktail Benefit
11/04/2010 - By New York, NY

TFFT Young Founders' Cocktail Benefit

NYC's hottest professionals with global perspective converged to Improve Education in Africa.

From fierce fashionistas to finance professionals, 300 are coming together for TFFT's 4th Annual Young Founders Cocktail Benefit. The event entailed a photographic exhibition, DJ Anthony Batista spinning and a fabulous silent auction.

The Foundation For Tomorrow http://www.thefoundationfortomorrow.org (TFFT) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that uses education to combat poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through boarding school scholarships for orphaned children, teachers' training, and library and computer center constructions, the organization strives to empower the future of developing nations.

TFFT was founded on the concept that geography should not dictate how far an individual can go or the quality of education one should receive. It's the children, the future leaders of sub-Saharan Africa who if given a chance, will ultimately pull their countries out of poverty and bring economic and political stability and growth to their nations. All programs TFFT runs are community based development models that leave ownership in the hands of the communities we work with. Our in-country staff provides equipment and permits, they provide volunteer labor. Many people believe, and it's often the case, that the children's destiny was created well before they were born and solely because they were conceived in Sub-Saharan Africa. TFFT strives to redefine that destiny by working WITH communities not for them.
