Purpose
|
The Affair Series took shape out of an effort that grew from the idea to invite college friends and their friends to come to New York to fellowship, network, and raise money for a local educational cause called The Big Apple Affair. This effort which began in 2014 was so fun and successful, that those who participated chose to continue to help build the brand and the platform for which their good works could help raise more money for the cause over time. With the support of those who had come to love being part of this cause, The Affair Series returns again this year with the mission to create more philanthropic and networking opportunities. This year, we are taking The Affair Series on the road with its first stop being Chicago, Illinois.
The Affair Series presents The Windy City Affair and this year, The Affair Series has selected Swish Dreams, a non-profit organization that uses sports (basketball and cheer) as a vehicle to teach youth fitness, literacy, and leadership exposing children to a to "Swish Education", to lend its support to. Swish Dreams has served over 250 students in Chicago, Illinois and has been blessed to have forged relationships with many prominent organizations; in July 2010, history was made when 35 boys from the Chicagoland area participated in the very first very SWISH Dreams summer camp. Their mission is one that deals with the development and cultivation of young minority boys & girls which shows their commitment to excellence within our community.
With the events of Laquan McDonald, Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Tamir Rice & countless others, we believe that it is critically imperative nonetheless our social responsibility to assist, guide, and foster the development of our youth by valuing and contributing to their education, their communities, and their lives. Going on its third year, The Affair Series hopes to continue to help raise substantial donations, provide recognition for organizations, and successfully pull people & relationships together to help do great things for important causes.
