The Sulaiman Family, and WBC Word Boxing Cares are announcing a new program, World Champions Against Bullying, headed by Harris Haith, Roy Foreman and Coylette James.  WBC President Jose Sulaiman, newly appointed Ambassador to the Non Violence Foundation*, called for immediate action and support.                     

We are setting this motion with a Celebration of Heroes! An evening dedicated to those who have inspired us, and our youth. Please help us pay tribute to some outstanding leaders in the community, and join us for an evening of joy and laughter. It’s not a Fund Raiser as much as a FUN Raiser!                                              

Our hearts to yours,

Jill Diamond, Chair
