The African
American Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame (AAESHF) a national 501(c)(3) and THE EIGHT
a 501(c)(3) public benefit Charity based in Riverside County, have partnered to
raise funds and awareness regarding the current economic adversities in the county
of Riverside and surrounding cities.
In today's economy we
are ALL "at-risk," however there are those families who make"JUST ENOUGH
but CAN NOT qualify for traditional assistance" and "NOT ENOUGH" to become
self-sufficient.
The AAESHF
will collaborate with THE EIGHT to produce the 2009 Induction Ceremony in
support of "BLISS County" (Riverside County without poverty).Proceeds will go to THE EIGHT Programs(Women
In Need Now, Families on the Frontline and Future Entrepreneurs Network
Development), providing a range of services to assist
low-income people in attaining the skills, knowledge, and motivation necessary
to achieve self-sufficiency. The programs also provide low-income people with
immediate life necessities such as food, shelter, clothing, transportation and
health care needs, etc. In addition, services are provided for the
revitalization of low-income communities, the reduction of poverty.
Our partnership with THE EIGHT helps to improve and increase their capacity at
achieving results and to provide immediate access and long-term solutions
toward eliminating the lack of basic needs which attributes to social, physical
and emotional stress and POOR CHOICES ending with illiteracy, homelessness,
unemployment, imprisonment, recidivism, death and in due course, angst-ridden
and indigent communities.
