Roland Parrish, CEO of NBMOA guest speaker at annual gala benefiting Ugandan Orphaned Youth

DALLAS — Roland Parrish, President and CEO of 26 Parrish McDonald’s Restaurants, and Chair and CEO of the National Black McDonald’s Operators Association (NBMOA), will serve as the motivational speaker for the Humanitarian Hands Charities “What if…?” gala event October 19, 2013, at the Holiday Inn Dallas Central-Park Cities, 6070 North Central Expressway. The gala is the premier fundraising and awareness event for the organization, which sheds light on the issues surrounding Ugandan orphaned youth.

The event kicks off at 5:30 p.m. with a V.I.P. reception and silent auction preview, followed by a dinner and presentation program featuring Dr. Isador Lieberman, Director of the Scoliosis and Spine Tumor Programs at the Texas Back Institute and founder of the Uganda Spine Surgery Mission. DeLores Pressley, personal power expert and coach of the Born Successful Institute, will serve as the mistress of ceremonies. Entertainment will be provided by Dallas musical group Chosen.

According to the Uganda Ministry of Health, 70,000 to 100,000 children die each year as a direct result of diseases. Many people die of common infections, cuts, bug bites and treatable ailments, simply because they do not have common antiseptics or medicine. Proceeds from the fundraising gala event will go towards building the Ray of Hope Medical Clinic to help save the people in the Fort Portal, Uganda community.

Tickets are $75 and can be purchased online at www.hhcharities.org or you can mail a check to the Humanitarian Hands Charities office, 9304 Forest Lane Suite South 125, Dallas, Texas 75243. Questions can be directed to (972) 331-6098. Sponsorship opportunities are still available.

  1. I love to see this. A black man owning 26 McDonald’s restaurants. He’s a millionaire many times over. Texas, Maryland, Georgia, California, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, and to a lesser degree Colorado have a large concentration of successful African-American professionals, families, businesses, and communities. But states like Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Minnesota, and Kentucky blacks aren’t doing too cool. And certain cities blacks are doing bad. Like Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Louisville, New Orleans, Birmingham, Miami, Memphis, and Montgomery along with Columbia- South Carolina blacks are doing really bad down there. Those cities mentioned are reporting high levels of unemployment, poverty, gun violence, crime, homicides and failing schools, and poor academic performance among blacks, especially black youth. Blacks have been doing bad in these cities for a long time. Cities in the Midwest and deep and central south have a long history of failure for blacks, especially black families. But certain southern cities are reporting great success amongst blacks. Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Houston, Dallas, Nashville, and Jacksonville have a lot of well to black people because all these have one common denominator: A high number of successful black owned businesses.
