The Cuppy Foundation has announced that the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (GCON), will be the special guest of honour at the inaugural Gold Gala. All proceeds generated from this event will go towards The Cuppy Foundation programs that will benefit thousands of Nigerians in need.

The Cuppy Foundation is an establishment aimed at tackling issues surrounding young females, education for girls, and persons with disabilities (minorities). This Foundation was born out of a passion deep within her founder to give individuals who have been forgotten and relegated to the background of society a chance at building the life they desire, a chance that every individual on earth deserves.

Save the Children was established in the United Kingdom in 1919 in order to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts. The organisation operates in over 120 countries around the World. Save the Children is working in Nigeria because one in five children in Nigeria dies before their fifth birthday. About 40% of children miss out on school and have to work to survive while nearly 2 million children have lost one or both parents to an AIDS-related disease.
