All the best, Michael and Shawn Michael D. Smith Executive Director, MBK Alliance The Obama Foundation Shawn Dove CEO, Campaign for Black Male Achievement Donate to empower leaders and changemakers today: DONATE Hi there, As our 44-Hour Funding Drive rolls on here at the Obama Foundation, I wanted to tell you about a very special event we had here in Chicago last weekend. We invited members of the Chicago community to share their keepsakes of President and Mrs. Obama’s historic journey to the White House. We saw yard signs from President Obama’s U.S. Senate race, inauguration tickets from 2009, and newspapers and magazines celebrating his historic election from all over the world. We even saw Obama family nesting dolls.    DONATE But what we saw above everything else was the enthusiasm our community has for the President, Mrs. Obama, and the future Obama Presidential Center. So this weekend, as a gift for President Obama’s birthday, we're asking you to make a donation to bring the Obama Presidential Center to life and support the young leaders it will empower. I can’t imagine a better gift for President Obama than thousands of people pitching in to support the vision he cares so deeply about, and I hope you’ll be one of them. Make a gift now. Thank you for helping us celebrate the President’s birthday in the best way possible.
