As an organization devoted to being “The Voice” of the emergent generation of African descendants, Face2face Africa established The F.A.C.E.

The award ceremony is a red carpet black-tie benefit event where a portion of the proceeds will be donated to this year’s beneficiary, Raising HOPE Foundation for their work with orphans and disadvantaged children in Africa. 

There will be several musical acts, performances and surprises throughout the night. The show will be hosted by the eloquent and brilliant Eric J. Henderson of Huffington Post, and will take place at The Times Center in the heart of New York City. Red carpet will commence at 7pm sharp!

Media Partners include BlackEnterpise.com, ETV Ghana, Bronxnet TV, and F2FA Magazine.

Advance registration is required, and all registered guests will automatically be entered into a sweepstake for the chance to win 2 round trip tickets to Africa via Arik Air and a $500 State Farm Visa Card plus complimentary insurance and financial services consultation by a State Farm agent.
