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 The Sanneh Foundation. 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 The Sanneh Foundation, 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.
