A Favorite Of Mine

   

A Spirit of Forgiveness musical production, written, produced, and directed by Ms. Cherice White was a Christmas Fundraising Event and Toy Drive. On December 9, 2006 at the Black Academy of Arts and Letters this fundraising event was for the continued relief of the Hurricane Katrina survivors. With the support of our sponsors we were able to bless 35 families with; Christmas dinner for a family of four, a Christmas tree, scholastic books, toys, and a $200.00 check for each family!
