Donor Spotlight:  Buffalo Soldier Motorcycle Club “revs up” Support for Africare

On October 5, 2009, Larry Rosamore completed a 1,300 mile trip from his home in Lake Charles, Louisiana to Africare House in Washington DC… and all on his Harley Davidson!

Larry was driving for a cause-- his passion for Africa-- and also as a fundraiser to support Africare and its mission to empower communities on the African continent through grass-roots development programs. But Larry wasn’t alone. He inspired the local chapter of his motorcycle club, The Buffalo Soldiers, to adopt Africare as its philanthropy. Each member reached out to their community in a variety of ways to raise money. Larry had a special tactic:  

“I went to the dentist, I went to the bakery, the mechanic shop… asking everyone to sponsor me for 7 cents a mile. A drive-a-thon!”

Nine months later Larry made his trip to Washington DC, delivering a check for $7,335.00 that was raised with the support of his friends, family and community. Africare salutes Larry Rosamore with this special Donor Spotlight!  We appreciate all that you do improve lives and build futures in Africa.

Donor Spotlight:  Michigan State Awareness Project

In May 2009, students at Michigan State University inspired their classmates “to action” after a presentation about the influence of natural resources like food and water on the attainment of peace and justice within impoverished nations around the world.

Africare’s development work across 25 countries in Africa was highlighted as an example of this correlation, and inspired the students to take their class project to the next level through a fundraiser to support Africare. Fundraising efforts will begin Fall of 2009. Stay posted
to track their efforts.
