Dear Friends,

 

When Bebe Moore Campbell made her transition, her life and spirit were celebrated in Los Angeles, California. Many of her East Coast friends were unable to attend the funeral service, including many classmates, writing community colleagues, sorority sisters, college buds, Philadelphia church family, students, loyal readers and others.  

On April 11-13, 2008, an East Coast Memorial Tribute will honor Bebe’s life and legacy. This tribute will help us to share some closure on our feelings of loss and to give everyone she touched an opportunity to participate in remembering this remarkable woman. The Tribute will take place in her hometown and we are sure Bebe would be pleased that it will be staged to also help inspire the emerging generation of remarkable young women at her alma mater, the Philadelphia High School for Girls.

As a friend and supporter of Bebe and her various humanitarian causes, we respectfully request that you join us for the East Coast Memorial Tribute. Attached, please find information about the weekend activities.
