Isaiah Williams supports World Food Day in NYC

"Doing Something, Doing More" ... Get Out and Do In Style? is a fun and fashionable Fall tie-in benefit event. Our friend and client, Isaiah Williams of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, will be doing something quite eclectic for World Food Day -- hosting a related fundraiser and food drive benefiting World Food Day (www.worldfooddayusa.org), The Food Bank for New York City (www.foodbanknyc.org), One Billion Hungry (www.1billionhungry.org), and Dr. Oz's HealthCorps organization (www.HealthCorps.org).

There will be a special host; collection bins for canned goods; music; a mini-fashion presentation featuring Chelc NYC (www.chelcnyc.com), eco-friendly accessories designed by Michelle Charak; spoken word; reading selection; Tonnie's Minis (www.tonniesminis.com) and treats; plus cash bar. The event will feature special announcements, including the formation of The Isaiah Williams Foundation. Isaiah will also acknowledge a few of his favorite charitable organizations.

While most NFL players might spend their break "bye" time on vacation, Isaiah Williams will spend Saturday, October 16, 2010 -- World Food Day -- in New York City helping the United Nations to increase awareness, understanding and efforts to alleviate hunger around the globe. World Food Day is a great day for people to take a moment to become more aware and knowledgeable about the well-being and challenges of others, particularly those who are in need of food and shelter, and even those needing organ transplantation, like Isaiah's manager, Chuck Garrett, and a host of others who await a kidney donor transplant. On the field and off, Isaiah Williams helps to embrace, empower, enhance and enlighten the lives of others. In attendance for the October 16th event will be an array of family, friends, colleagues, contacts, professionals, media, entertainers, athletes, plus a number representatives from not-for-profit organizations.

Consider coming out to enjoy "Doing Something, Doing More" ... Get Out and Do In Style? on Saturday, October 16, 2010 from 8 p.m. to midnight at the Village Pourhouse - Restaurant Row Sports Bar www.villagepourhouse.com (212-979-2337) located at 366 West 46th Street (between Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue) on Restaurant Row in the Theatre District of New York City. Suggested donation is $10 with a canned/non-perishable good; $20 without a canned/non-perishable good.
