Onyx
Magazine, on behalf of LBS Foundation Incorporated, a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization, celebrates its seventh annual Onyx
Awards. We invite you and your corporation to become a corporate
sponsor to what has become Florida's signature African American
awards celebration of "Black Trailblazers" and corporations that
promote inclusion and diversity in the workplace.
This
signature event serves as a funding engine to support health and
education initiatives of the foundation, which currently focuses
on sickle cell disease, early literacy and scholarships. In
2008, through a generous donation provided by the LBS Foundation
Incorporated, the Tri- County Sickle Cell Disease Association,
Inc. continued services at its new outreach resource center.
This office serves clients in Orange, Seminole and Osceola
counties. Funding was also provided to the Jacksonville -Sickle
Cell Disease Association, Inc. to assist in its mission to serve
the clients of Duval County. Through your support, we can
continue to make a difference.
Sickle Cell
is an inherited blood disorder that turns normal round blood
cells into misshaped cells that appear as sickles or crescent
moons. Although research continues to get closer to an answer
regarding a cure for Sickle Cell Anemia, to date, none exists.
The disease primarily affects people of color, to include the
African Americans, Hispanic and Asian populations. Many
families find themselves incapable of providing a normal life of
extra curricular activities for their children. With your
support we can afford a child an opportunity just to simply be a
kid.
The education
and literacy level of children shapes their own personal
development and life chances, as well as, the nation’s economic
and social progress. In this vein, the LBS Foundation
Incorporated Onyx Awards proceeds have benefited numerous
students in the central Florida area through college
scholarships as well as the Montsho Foundation, Inc., which
promotes family literacy and provide a continuum of programs and
activities that seek to eradicate illiteracy in Florida.
