2008 Million Dollar Promise Appeal

At Any Given Moment
You can provide an opportunity...
You can lend a hand...
You can uplift another person...

 

The MDRT Foundation is partnering with the Stephen Lewis Foundation, a charitable organization that provides financial assistance, comfort and hope to people affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

The 2008 Million Dollar Promise Appeal: “At Any Given Moment” is the MDRT Foundation’s fundraising appeal designed to drive an annual goal of granting more than $1 million to charities worldwide. The MDRT Foundation is encouraging all MDRT members to donate $100 or more to the Promise Appeal to support income-generating projects for grandmothers throughout Africa.

Your gift will help these resilient matriarchs provide food, shelter, medical and school supplies for millions of children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. Donations to this appeal will also support hundreds of other charitable organizations funded by the MDRT Foundation’s member-driven grant programs.
