Lifestyle: Ford Unsung Winners




I attended a fabulous event, hosted by Ford, at Georgia Tech’s Historic Academy of Medicine.  They announced the Ford Motor Company  Freedom Unsung Award Winners.  Ford brought this event to Atlanta as part of its ongoing commitment to honor distinguished Americans who dedicate their lives to improving the community where they live and the world at large.  Special guest hosts included Keke Palmer, Youth Ambassador for the Ford Freedom Unsung Program and Award Winning Actress Tacoma Perry, Reporter at WAGA/FOX 5 Atlanta.

The food was fabulous!  I really enjoyed the Hors d'oeuvres which included Chicken Skewers, Shrimp on corn pate, and mini loaded potato bites.  





The event location was absolutely gorgeous! 


The Honorees were allowed to mix and mingle prior to the ceremony.
