Thank You for Attending Happy Hour Hosted by YP for Acumen Fund & African Social Enterprise Forum

A heartfelt Thank You to everyone who attended Happy Hour last night at Bubble Lounge, hosted by the Young Professionals for Acumen Fund and the African Social Enterprise Forum. There was fantastic energy in the room, as social entrepreneurs and those with a keen interest in the sector, we really have a unique opportunity to harness our palpable collective energy and create real change for social good.

A good start is finding like-minded visionaries who can help you advance your work for social change. Have you heard of the African Social Enterprise Forum--Saturday, September 26 at the landmark Desmond Tutu Center? As mentioned last night, there will be at least US$4 Billion social investment capital represented at the conference of 200 delegates with featured speakers from leading social entrepreneurship organizations such as the Rockefeller Foundation, Acumen Fund and Social Private Equity South Africa. Cheryl Dorsey, President of Echoing Green and VP of President Obama's Commission on White House Fellowships is ASEF's keynote speaker.

You can Register for the conference here. If you have further questions, please contact magogodi_makhene@yahoo.com.

Again--a tremendous Thank You for supporting us as we all do good. We hope you had fun, were spurred to action by more than good champagne and look forward to seeing you at the next Young Professionals for Acumen Fund event.

Regards,

The Young Professionals for Acumen Fund Team
