You can hear the Reverend sing live on May 21 at the annual U.S. Dream Academy Power of A Dream gala in Washington D.C. This year's gala promises to be an exciting event as both presidential candidates Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barrack Obama are expected to attend. Comedian Chris Tucker will be co-hosting with WJLA's Cynne Simpson and Peabo Bryson and Jennifer Holliday are joining Rev. Wintley Phipps to provide the evening's music. The U.S. Dream Academy will be honoring Ben S. Carson, M.D., Director of Pediatric Nuerosurgery at John Hopkins as well as our own Executive Vice President, Jim Payne. While Jim is unable to attend the event, Sandy Spielmaker, Vice President of Sales will be there to accept the award in his honor. Tickets are available through the U.S. Dream Academy.
This year is the Dream Academy's 10th Anniversary. The U.S. Dream Academy is an after-school program that aims to break the cycle of incarceration by giving children the skills and vision necessary to lead productive, fulfilling lives. The organization provides academic, social and values enrichment through supportive mentoring and the use of technology. There are currently 11 U.S. Dream Academy learning centers across the country that serve children in low income, high crime communities with failing schools.
Quixtar North America/Amway Global is a proud supporter of the U.S. Dream Academy through our One by One Campaign for Children.
