Macy's Passport
Spirit of Uganda was privileged to be a featured performer at Macy's Passport in San Francisco and Los Angeles in September, 2007.
Spirit of Uganda helped mark the silver anniversary of Macy's West's highest profile fundraising event, focused on raising awareness and money for HIV/AIDS organizations. Since 1988, Macy's Passport has raised and distributed more than $25 million for HIV/AIDS services, prevention and research.
Empower African Children is deeply grateful to be one of the beneficiaries of Macy's advocacy and generosity.
In honor of Passport's 25th Anniversary, and for the first time in the event's history, Macy's has created commemorative merchandise.
A portion of the proceeds from sales of these products will support the education of orphaned and vulnerable children in Africa. Learn more about Empower African Children's educational programs.
