Taste of Art Fundraiser in New York

On behalf of The Gold Coast Medical Foundation, I'm writing to request

your participation in our Taste For Art Fundraiser Event. On Sunday, March

2nd 2014, we are hosting an amazing culinary and art experience, open to

the public. This event will take place at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, from

7pm- 10pm.

The Gold Coast Medical Foundation is a non-profit organization, started by

two brothers from Ghana, West Africa. Dr. Kwaku Boakye and Dr. Kwabena

Boakye while in medical school, started this organization as a way to reach

out to the world about medical poverty in Ghana and other third world

countries. We have 8 board members, 3 being medical doctors. We've

missioned out to countries, providing temporary clinics, medical supplies

for hospitals (donated to us by well known hospitals) and health education

for rural villages. Our doctors have traveled on disaster relief mission

trips to countries such as Haiti, Malawi, Indonesia and the Dominican

Republic. We've also adopted the Westphalian Children's Home in Ghana,

donating to them clothing, school supplies, food and also financial

assistance. Sticking to our world wide health awareness goal, we've

provided health education and fitness classes for several churches and

organizations in the Bronx and Harlem; with the support of the NYC

Department of Health, and Bronx Health Reach.

For The Taste For Art Fundraiser event , we're partnering with the Rakiem

Walker Project, the house band for Red Rooster Harlem, collaborating food

and art. We're bringing together amazing chefs presenting artistic edibles,

and artist showcasing music, eye-catching pieces, and the work of

photography. With this event, we're hoping to raise funds towards our up

coming mission trip and projects. Our goal is to offer silent auction lots

and raffles with items such as rare wines,designer handbags, hard-to-get

dinner reservations, jewelry, golf outings, signed sports memorabilia and

premium seating to sports events. All donations are tax deductible to the

extent allowed by law and will be acknowledged on auction materials,

organization website and in the annual report.

Most importantly, we're hoping to reach out to our guest about medical

poverty in third word countries and how to help. While guest are enjoying

amazing food and wonderful art, as we want to reach people while in great

spirits; we will be showcasing information about the organization, its

mission work, our clinic project in Kwabuanta/ Ashanti Region, Ghana and

more.

We sincerely apologize for such short notice and hope you will give serious

thought and consideration to this request.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Maame Boakye
