Dfree Movement Hosts Inaugural Legacy Gala

December 24, 2021 by Black Star

Global Financial Freedom Organization Commemorates 10th Anniversary with Inaugural Fundraising Gala

Community Star-Studded Event to Highlight Stories of Triumph from the Lives Transformed Through the Dfree Global Foundation

DECEMBER 21, 2021 – SOMERSET, NJ – The inaugural Legacy Gala and Awards Ceremony will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Dfree Global Foundation, Inc. The ceremony will feature live entertainment, a special keynote presentation, commendatory remarks, and celebratory awards for leaders from corporate, philanthropic, faith-based, and community sectors while highlighting stories of triumph from individuals who have graduated from the dfree® Online Academy. 

“Lives have been transformed because of the work of our clergy and faith-based leaders, community organizers, various sorority and fraternity members, and individuals committed to living out and sharing the mission of our organization. The Legacy Gala & Awards Ceremony is our opportunity to shine a light on this great work,” said Dr. DeForest B. Soaries, Jr., the founder and Chairman of the Dfree Global Foundation. 

The Foundation’s team has worked to improve the financial health of African Americans by addressing the spiritual, psychological, and behavioral root causes of monetary issues. To date, the organization’s team has:

  • Trained more than 6,000 leaders and served more than 50,000 families; 
  • Educated more than 8,000 people through the dfree® Online Academy;
  • Helped people pay down more than $34M in debt and save more than $1.2M through the Billion Dollar Challenge;
  • Awarded more than $20k in debt paydown prizes and scholarships;
  • Provided the dfree® curriculum and resources to people in Haiti, Jamaica, Ghana, and South Africa, and;
  • Solidified national partnerships with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., and other community organizations and churches.

As the Dfree Global Foundation continues to meet the needs of its communities with a life-changing financial freedom movement, it must continue the vital work of disrupting the current projected trajectory of Black Americans having a zero median net worth by 2053. The dfree® Movement’s team is determined to close the racial wealth gap one family at a time.

Funds raised from the Legacy Gala & Awards Ceremony will support the training of new leaders, new website enhancements, expansion of the organization’s educational technology platform buildout, course and content updates, and more. 

Individual ticket prices start at $125, with virtual streaming options starting at $25. Sponsorship opportunities are available.
