Over the weekend 5,000 participants demonstrated their commitment to end global poverty in the annual Dallas Partnership Walk / Run at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, TX. The Dallas Partnership Walk is an initiative of Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A. (AKF USA) to raise awareness and funds that reduce poverty, hunger, illiteracy and poor health in Africa and Asia.
$873,000 was raised at the event and throughout the year, over $1,000,000 was raised in North Texas for Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A. programs worldwide. 100 percent of the funds raised at Partnership Walk go directly to projects supported by the Foundation; not a cent is spent on administration.
