ASAP Kick-off Event

Former Chicago Bear and All Pro, Jerry Azumah, will host his highly anticipated kickoff reception as a prelude to the Fourth Annual Signature Fundraiser. The event will benefit his non profit organization, The Azumah Student Assistance Program (ASAP) Foundation. This year, with the help of generous sponsors, the ASAP Foundation will hold a reception that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Guests will enjoy complimentary Grey Goose cocktails, hearty hors d'oeuvres, and lively music, all while supporting an organization that is dedicated to changing the educational future of todays youth. The ASAP Foundation is committed to supporting high achieving students in their pursuit of higher level education. To serve this purpose, the ASAP Foundation develops innovative and unique programs and charity events designed to raise funds for disadvantaged students. The foundation researches communities, schools, and programs in Illinois and Massachusetts that assist impressionable young students who are at risk academically and environmentally to help them realize their dreams with the fundamental components of a private education. Currently ASAP sponsors students at San Miguel Schools (Chicago, IL), Link Unlimited (Chicago, IL) and St. Peter Marian (Worcester, MA). This year, the ASAP Foundation is striving to reach a minimum $80,000 fundraising goal to help its scholarship recipients attend prestigious private institutions. The purpose of the Kickoff Reception is to bring awareness to the ASAP Foundation, help raise monies towards said fundraising goal, and promote ASAP Fourth Annual Signature Fundraiser taking place on May 16th at Lucky Strike Lanes. The Annual Signature Fundraiser is a fun, successful, and effective event that brings celebrities, sports figures, and philanthropists together to raise funds in support of ASAP initiatives. The foundation is hopeful that the Fourth Annual Signature Fundraiser will be a success, and continue to grow ASAP philanthropic efforts in the community. Jerry Azumah and the ASAP foundation are passionate about improving the lives and educational opportunities of students. The 2012 Kickoff Reception and Signature Fundraiser will definitely help to continue this cause.
