The Cure Bowl will be the first non-soccer sporting event to take place at Orlando City Stadium, since its opening in March 2017. Kickoff for the fifth-annual Cure Bowl will be December 21, 2019 at 2:30 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.“We are excited about the Orlando Sports Foundation’s partnership with Orlando City Stadium and the unique atmosphere that will be created for the Cure Bowl,” CEO of the Orlando Sports Foundation and Executive Director of the Cure Bowl Alan Gooch stated. “I can’t wait to see a college football game in Orlando City Stadium. We believe all fans will have a great experience and this will help us to continue our mission of bringing teams together to find a cure for cancer.”Orlando City Stadium located in the heart downtown Orlando is home to the Orlando City Soccer Club of Major League Soccer (MLS) and Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). The state-of-the-art venue is within walking distance of the historic Church Street Entertainment District.“We are very excited to welcome the Cure Bowl to Orlando City Stadium as the first non-soccer sporting event to be hosted in our beautiful venue,” Orlando City SC Chief Revenue Officer Chris Gallagher said. “Through flagship events like the Cure Bowl, the Orlando Sports Foundation works tirelessly to raise funds for cancer research, and we are happy to do what we can to support such a meaningful initiative. We can’t wait to see a new kind of football on our pitch this December.”In its first four years, the Cure Bowl has been used as a platform to raise $3.6 million for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). The Orlando community has benefited from the funds generated at the game with local BCRF researcher Dr. Annette Khaled at the UCF College of Medicine receiving over $1.1 million of the funds distributed.“The move allows us to add a gameday block party which will start at Church Street and conclude with a March 2 Cure to Orlando City Stadium,” Gooch added. “These events will help drive revenue to Downtown Orlando business owners, while enhancing the experience of Cure Bowl attendees on gameday.”The March 2 Cure will be a free, pre-game event featuring music, entertainment and activities for all to enjoy. The event will culminate with an organized walk from the Church Street Entertainment District to the game at Orlando City Stadium. Each team playing in the Cure Bowl will have their band participate in the march alongside fans, cancer survivors and supporters decked out in pink gear.The Cure Bowl features a matchup between teams from the American Athletic Conference and Sun Belt Conference.

BRONZE KINGDOM VOTED ORLANDO'S BEST GALLERY 2019 BY ORLANDO MAGAZINE READERS ORANGE COUNTY, FL – On Thursday, August 1st, 2019, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Bronze Kingdom will host a free Champagne toast at their Gallery in Orlando Fashion Square Mall, to celebrate being voted Orlando's Best Art Gallery, by Orlando Magazine readers.  This toast will be followed by an update on their plans to move to International Drive as they further expand Orlando's Cultural tourism offerings. The community is invited.  Bronze Kingdom is a two-year old African Art gallery that houses the largest collection of African bronzes in the world. Located in the heart of Orlando, it’s collection consists of over 4,000 exquisitely- crafted pieces from over 29 different countries from the continent of Africa, including Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso and more. Collector, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, Mr. Rawlvan R. Bennett acquired many of the pieces displayed in the Bronze Kingdom gallery over the past 40 years directly from African leaders through cultivated relationships, respectful negotiations, building schools, hospitals, bridges and more for West African communities.   Rawlvan and his wife, Iantress, when choosing where in America they would move to after working in Africa, chose Orlando.    Directly after the move, the overzealous couple set up the gallery in a remote location, close to the Orlando Airport. The first location of the gallery was small, isolated and difficult for clients to find. These were all major concerns for their new marketing team, GGR Marketing and PR.  "We had a relationship with Orlando Fashion Square Mall, where we have an extensive history creating events. We felt it was imperative that the gallery move to a location that was easier to find and larger.   We connected the two parties and within two months, Bronze Kingdom had a new address and were up and ready." Said, GGR's CEO, Guenet Gittens-Roberts.   Gallery owners Rawlvan and Iantress and their marketing team worked closely with local artists, performers and events teams to create an engaging space that is steeped in culture, history and a tribute to Africa and the Pan African diaspora.   The gallery, through it's programming, created a link with Africa that emotionally moves many who visit it as they are shown their roots. Before all of us were anything else, we were all first African. We are dedicated to showcasing "One World in Unison. We are all one people, branches of the same tree.  As West African Queen Diambi, who visited the Gallery, said " Africa is more than the cradle of civilization, it is the house, school, university,  and more...We have evidence of hundreds of thousands of years of our Nile Valley and other civilized history..." She went on to say, "you have started to share with the world what we came to America to share.  African history has been told by the Europeans, however now, Bronze Kingdom is correcting the narrative and setting the record straight.  You are providing the platform for the people of Africa to tell their story." During that visit a King said “ Our ancestors reside here, you are telling our story.” Bronze Kingdom has fostered a developing appreciation of Africa through their unique exhibitions. With the use of African performances, they intend to add virtual reality encounters of real people in Africa’s past and present lives of today.  It is  presenting gallery patrons an immersive education experience in African history & culture in an exciting and refreshing way. It  allows African history that was preserved to be remembered, revisited and retold in a way that has not been done for the Africans in the Diaspora or anywhere in the world.  For Orlando Magazine readers to understand and appreciate the gallery after only one year, says that the Bennett's were correct to choose this multicultural melting pot to launch their gallery. "We have only just begun!  We will continue working together to make Orlando a very attractive destination for people of all ages to experience the history of people of Africa and the Diaspora," said, Rawlvan Bennett.   Bronze Kingdom is in the process of moving to International Drive and will be enriching the cultural tourism portion of a visit to Orlando with an immersive African cultural experience.   "We will be expanding.  Currently only half (½) of our inventory is being displayed.  This year, we became a 501c3, and are in the process of converting to a Museum Attraction.  We will be providing a Restaurant & Bar onsite – providing an African Culinary Experience, creating African Based virtual rides and a 3D Interactive Museum Experience where the art comes alive.  We are especially proud of our plans for a Performing Arts Center where we will present all things of the African Diaspora –Dance, Theater, Music, Literature and all things Cultural, tracing our roots in Africa and our culture around the African Diaspora." He continued in a recent statement.  "We envision the world will place this among the seminal attractions in North America. It is designed to delight and amaze local neighbors, students, scholars and world travelers for generations to come.  I thought that I had made my mark on  world history with Essence Magazine, but with Bronze Kingdom museum, I have the opportunity to be a part of a project that changes the perception of African Americans and the way they see themselves twice in a lifetime.  It is my mission to share Bronze Kingdom with the world." Said Jonathan Sebastian Blount, who provided the conceptual inspiration and was Founding Chair and President  of Essence Magazine and VP, Business Development, GGR Marketing & PR.  Visit www.bronzekingdom.com for photos.  Guenet Gittens-Roberts CEO GGR Marketing & Public Relations  www.ggrmarketingandpr.com Publisher Caribbean American Passport Newspaper www.caribbeanamericanpassport.com JUST ADDED: www.capradio98.com Tel: 407-427-1800 : Fax: 407-386-7925

With a warm and welcoming invitation to “Join US,” Orlando's annual FusionFest is seeking contributors of all backgrounds to take part in a second year of multicultural celebration. Launched last fall as an opportunity for Orange County's diverse ethnic communities to share their rich traditions, the free two-day event will return to downtown Orlando Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, 2019. And once again, this “diversitastic” undertaking is calling upon representatives of the many nationalities and regions that make our area home to tell their stories via music, dance, food, fashion, film, poetry and authentic handcrafted goods. The inaugural FusionFest drew approximately 8,000 attendees, who descended upon the city center on Thanksgiving weekend to sample the artistic and culinary offerings of more than 100 represented heritages. Parades, performances and contests spotlighted the best each participating culture had to offer, with a special emphasis on “fusion” projects that welded the sights, sounds and styles of seemingly disparate communities. This year’s event promises to be bigger and better, with a wider net of participants and greater representation for all. To that end, a stepped-up outreach campaign is already under way to solicit the participation of even more musical acts, dance troupes, fashion designers, spoken-word artists, singers, filmmakers, culinary wizards and artisans. Sponsorships and other promotional partnerships are also being sought to bring the FusionFest mission of fun and friendship to new heights of visibility. And there are opportunities for volunteers and fundraisers as well. Interested parties can register for the 2019 event at: FusionFest.org/Join-Us Terry Olson, the festival's architect and “Chief Instigator,” sums up its appeal: By showing up to share a smile and your personal heritage, he says, “you may discover just how different other people really aren't!” FusionFest is a project of the Downtown Arts District, with support from Orange County Government, the Orlando Downtown Development Board, at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. In its inaugural edition, the event received the Award of Excellence in the Downtown Orlando Partnership's Golden Brick Awards.
