Liberia Economic Development Initiative (LEDI) Announces the 2023 International Life Changer Awards and Fundraising Gala
In recognition of our desire to celebrate the compassion and commitment of humanity’s heroes, the Liberia Economic Development Initiative (LEDI) is proud to announce its biggest and elegant event of the year – the 2023 LEDI International Life Changer Awards and Fundraising Gala.
This prestigious event will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2023, at 6:00 PM EST, at the elegant Grand Ballroom of the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. The goal of the event is to pay homage to extraordinary individuals who have ignited a beacon of hope across communities, near and far across the world, while raising needed funds to support the transformative and impactful work that LEDI is doing to reduce poverty and change lives.
The prestigious International Life Changer Award is a coveted honor bestowed annually upon exceptional individuals who have selflessly channeled their leadership and philanthropic endeavors towards empowering vulnerable individuals and communities, both at home and abroad.
As we reflect on the remarkable impact of our past 2022 honorees and trailblazers, such as Rev. Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant, Senior Pastor, New Birth Missionary Baptist; Mrs. Xernona Clayton, Founder and CEO, The Trumpet Awards Foundation; the late Mr. Thomas Dortch, Jr., Chairman, 100 Black Men of America, Inc.; Ms. Dana LuptonDr. Tammy Gray-Steele, CEO National Women in Agriculture Association, we are reminded that true change is the result of dedication and unwavering commitment.
Adding star power and gravitas to the already electrifying evening, we were thrilled and honored to have the charismatic, Host of the Roland Martin Unfiltered Streaming Show and CEO of the Black Star Network, graced the 2022 event as our Event Host and Master of Ceremony. With his magnetic presence and passion for creating meaningful change, the event was an inspiration that continues to resonate within our hearts. While we eagerly anticipate an evening of glamour and admiration, LEDI is also extending an invitation to corporate entities and individuals to partake in this noble endeavor through corporate sponsorships and table bookings.
