A Day Without Hunger - Membership Campaign

If you could make a difference in a hungry child's life with a $10.00 Members Fee,  would you? If you knew that the $10.00 not only feeds a hungry child but that it fosters hope for the future, would you become apart of a caring community. If you knew that your membership fee supports an orphanage in Haiti, would you join. Global Village Champions Foundation and Yank Barry have adopted the entire orphanage and the children are thriving with our support.

If you knew that your annual fee of $10.00 helped to support a Hospice in the Philippines for children of families that cannot afford proper medical care, would you join us?

For almost 20 years philanthropist Yank Barry and his close personal friend Muhammad Ali have been quietly travelling the globe taking food to children in dire circumstances.  The Foundation has been private until 2010 and food and funding has been provided by Yank and his many caring friends, many of them celebrities and many of them have Become Global Village Champions

Global Village Champions Foundation not only has delivered over 526 Million Meals to people in need, we are also first responders to many of the world's natural disasters, with critical medical, water and food supplies.  We have established strong partnerships with many other charitable organizations including Care, The Rotary, Red Cross, The Salvation Army, Doctors Without Borders and many more.

So Why a Members Campaign? We are committed to building a community of individuals from around the world.  That is one reason why we kept the annual fee to $10.00.  We wanted to encourage people from all economic backgrounds to become involved, to be a part of the solution, to know that there participation goes beyond a financial contribution.

With the many devastating natural disasters that the world has endured in the last few years you never know when you will be the person asking for help.  Many times "Villagers" (as we are called) will reach out to let us know of a situation in their own community that could use help. A recent example came from a Villager in Alabama.  He contacted us to let us know how critical things were in Alabama after the devastating tornadoes and that there was no access to drinking water. Partnering with the Salvation Army in Birmingham we bought all available bottled water we could locate and delivered 9200 bottles to them, along with energy bars and canned  food.  Yank Barry jumped on a plane and went to survey the damage himself to see what other help we could give to the region.

So where do you come in, there is power in a Social Crowd. A group of dedicated friends can raise thousands for charities and if a gaming element was added. such as Empire Avenue it has been demonstrated the tremendous power to affect someone’s actions by providing game-style achievements.  The charitable and game motivations combined can certainly change the world in a very positive manner.

To help increase our members base  a group of Empire Avenue Participants have generously pledged (to buy shares) their eaves to anyone who joins our community. Below is a chart of those that have become members as well as those that have pledged their eaves. When you buy shares in those that are members would you kindly use the hashtags: #ADayWithoutHunger and #EAv4Good - this will let the person know that you are honouring your pledge.


October 26th UPDATE: Welcome to several new members who have joined our community to make a difference in the lives of hungry children.

The table will be updated as we go, please let us know if you become a member in the comment section below. or on Empire in the shareholder email or let me know on Facebook.  As of the launch we have a commitment of 1750 share purchase in your stock, and I am sure this will increase as word spreads.
