DJ Cuppy’s Gold Dust Confab Blows Hot

 

DJ Cuppy pulled off her maiden Gold Dust conference with panache never seen before, which made the two-hour virtual conference a gala that had testimonies, commitments and emotions.

Cuppy, also known as Florence Cuppy Otedola organise the event under her Cuppy Foundation. This event is a follow-up on its 2019 Gold Gala, was to raise awareness on the Foundation’s work and celebrate projects it supported, in partnership with Save the Children in Nigeria.

This year’s event, anchored by DJ Cuppy herself, showcased the charity projects supported by the Cuppy Foundation, especially in Adamawa, Borno, and Katsina states.

 Also, the nutritional, educational, and health impact of COVID-19 on children in Nigeria, how the Cuppy Foundation and Save the Children are helping, and projects they will undertake in protecting and supporting children this year were discussed.

There was also a panel discussion. But the high point of the conference was when Anthony Olumide Kupe made a presentation on his achievements.

Kupe, the physically-challenged Founder of Kupe Foundation and an ambassador of Cuppy Foundation said he had been feeding no fewer than 50 physically-challenged persons.

Kupe’s very emotional presentation ushered in the wrap-up: a 30-minute long electric performance by DJ Cuppy, her energetic dancers, and seductive instrumentalists.

Other speakers and testifiers at the conference were Maryam Ahmed, Youth Ambassador, Save The Children Nigeria; Maryam Farooqi, Philanthropy Manager, Africa & New Markets; Kevin Watkins, CEO, Save the Children UK; Dr. Adaeze Oramalu, Senior Nutrition Adviser, Save The Children Nigeria, and Chichi Ogbonnaya of Women at Risk International Foundation, WARIF.
