AEFK brings together top entertainers, celebrity sports figures, business leaders and community volunteers to help disadvantaged youth. Their purpose is to give less advantaged young people positive childhood experiences that can motivate them to create futures rooted in success and hope, rather than failure and despair. AEFK's programs are specifically designed to give these kids alternative life options - the kinds of options that fuel new dreams and aspirations.

Shown are the front and back of the "Award Medal" that I designed for the "First Annual Shaq Games". Actual size of the medal is 3" in diameter. They are cast of solid metal and are quite heavy! There were "Gold", "Silver" and "Bronze" award medals given to all the participants on each of the winning teams.
In addition to the medals, I had the honor of designing a 70 page souvenir/program book for this event (Not pictured).
