The Belisha Foundation Official Kickoff in Reston, Virginia: A Celebration of Legacy and Hope

Reston, Virginia – November 5, 2023

In a heartwarming and impactful event, The Belisha Foundation marked its official kickoff in Reston, Virginia, bringing together friends, family, and supporters to honor the legacy of Belisha, the foundation’s namesake, on the 80th day since her passing. Founder Abebe Seifu passionately presented the foundation’s history, vision, mission, and areas of focus, setting the stage for a journey dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of children and the elderly.

The event served as a poignant 80th day memorial for Belisha, a remarkable mother, wife, and friend whose memory continues to inspire the foundation’s mission. Friends and church leaders from various states attended, creating a diverse and supportive atmosphere.

A documentary chronicling Belisha’s life and her legacy to the community was presented, providing attendees with a glimpse into the foundation’s roots and the profound impact it aims to achieve.

The emotional highlight of the evening came from Belisha’s two daughters, who delivered a heartfelt begena song—a tribute they had presented to their mother during her challenging fight against cancer. The performance resonated with the audience, capturing the essence of resilience and love.

In the spirit of unity and generosity, guests contributed donations during the event, and online donation methods were revealed for those who wish to support The Belisha Foundation’s noble cause remotely.
