Pre-Holiday Networking Mixer at the Tripoli Country Club, 7401 N. 43rd
Street. The event was hosted by Shanna Saleem Katina Jewel and featured

the community to new One Accord Foundation board members Cecilia

Accord Foundation, Inc., is a non-profit 501c3 organization providing assistance
to children who are aging out of foster care and are college-bound. The
organization provides scholarships to assist the students with their first four
years in college. The success of One Accord Foundation is dependent entirely
upon the financial and product support of corporations, private sponsors
and individuals. One Accord Foundation’s Tommie L. Reid Scholarship
Fund is the family support these students need to make it through college
and become responsible citizens who can give back to their community.
