The Stewart Foundation celebrates the talent and achievements of Atlanta youth

 

About 100 youth with the Atlanta-based Stewart Foundation will be donned in white linen outfits and dressed to the nines this Saturday for the 2nd annual “Your White Linen benefit, which attracts political dignitaries, VIPs’ and celebrities and celebrates youth’s talent and recognizable achievements. The event pays homage, and acknowledges those who have supported youth in their accomplishments and their pursuit to achieve skills to help make them better future leaders in their communities. This year’s theme is “White Linen in Paradise.”  

 

The afternoon will be packed with entertainment and speeches, youth members will also perform their own talents, and Phusion Performing Arts Alliance and M.O.V.E. – Men of Valor and Excellence - will perform. Door prizes donated by Washington Mutual and award recognitions will be given away.

 

Attending will be parents, volunteers, patrons and sponsors, business leaders, dignitary guests, and Poet Mogul Hank Stewart, the organizations founder.

 

The Stewart Foundation focuses on building education and leadership in metro Atlanta area youth. The SF encourages children to become productive members of society by offering a variety of programs that foster independence, self pride and respect for others.
