DALLAS GOLFERS RAISE $120,000 TO HELP END GLOBAL POVERTY
AT THE DALLAS PARTNERSHIP GOLF TOURNAMENT
Dallas, Texas, May 12, 2008 – Today at the Tribute Golf Club 128 golfers took a swing at ending global
poverty at the annual Partnership Golf Tournament. Partnership Golf is an initiative of Aga Khan
Foundation U.S.A. (AKF USA) to raise funds and awareness to eliminate hunger, disease, illiteracy and
poverty in Africa and Asia. Approximately $120,000 was raised at today’s charity event.
With over half of the world’s population surviving on less than $2 per day, golfers participating at this
tournament help communities in some of the poorest areas of Africa and Asia create long-term, self-help
solutions to reduce conditions of poverty. 100% of donations and all net proceeds from the Partnership
Golf tournament go directly to projects supported by the Foundation; not a cent is spent on
administration. AKF USA is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Service code.
