Helpers Health and Community Initiative founders tapped Karon Joseph Riley to guest speak to the adults and youth for their 10th Anniversary Gala . The location was a safe place where some chose to dance and some chose to socialize at their table. It was a packed house and everyone looked stunning. Actor/Producer Karon Joseph Riley was not only a guest speaker. He was big brother, father, confidant and a coach during his speech. Riley offered lots of encouragement. He reflected on his own triumphs and tragedies in life.

The dinner guests were so excited about their new looks and new clothes. You can tell they were partying with a purpose. Mentorship was offered at the event. If you couldn’t sign up you can visit the website and do so.
