This Saturday evening (February 2nd, 2013) marks the
3rd Annual Gala 4 Goals
by The Sanneh Foundation. Tony Sanneh is a personal friend of mine and I believe in the work he is doing both here, in the midwest region of the United States and abroad.
I've committed two things to Tony and
. This Saturday at Gala 4 Goals, I will be signing my new book
"Life is Short, Then You're Dead Forever"
. The
entire proceeds
of my book that evening will go to the Sanneh Foundation at the end of the evening, so its very important that if you are attending Gala 4 Goals and you support
, that you buy my book that night. I'm bringing 150 copies.

Going forward,
$1.00 from every book purchase
online will go to The Sanneh Foundation until January of 2014. If we sell 50,000 books in 2013, I'll be writing a check to Tony for $50,000. So buy the book, review the book, and recommend it online and to friends. Every dollar will help make a difference in the lives of the children that benefit from The Sanneh Foundation.
