The Kiyan Prince Foundation is to host fundraising event, In Celebration of Kiyan<\/em> on Tuesday 22nd November at the iCAN Studios in Hackney, London. Goldgenie, the luxury customisation specialists, have donated a 24K Gold HTC 1 smartphone to be given away as a prize at the event, which will include a raffle, champagne reception and free buffet. The event will be presented by renowned compare David McQueen and there will be live performances from Michelle Escoffery, Slim the Comedian and music by DJs Mad Andy and Jumping Jack Frost. It is bound to be a great evening, through which the foundation hope to raise enough funds to purchase a minibus and Goldgenie are proud to contribute towards such a worthy cause.<\/p>\n

The Kiyan Prince Foundation is very close to the heart of Goldgenie.\u00a0 The Foundation was founded by good friend of Goldgenie founder Laban Roomes, ex professional boxer Mark Prince after the tragic death of his son Kiyan in May 2006.\u00a0 Kiyan, who played football for QPR\u2019s under 16 team, was tipped to play for England and had the world before him when was tragically stabbed whilst trying to protect his friend outside his school in Edgware.<\/p>\n

The Kiyan Prince Foundation runs workshops and programmes to educate young people in schools, prisons and other establishments about the dangers of knife and gun crime and raising awareness about the true and devastating effects that knife culture is having on their futures and the communities.\u00a0 The foundation is also proactive about providing young people with constructive outlets for their aggression and energy such as boxing classes and fitness programmes, alongside\u00a0 inspirational talks to encourage them to fulfill their full potential.\u00a0 The foundation’s education initiative is as much about prevention as it is about opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s outrageous that a talented young man should be cut down in the prime of his life outside the gates of his school, especially when all he was trying to do was protect a friend.\u00a0 Knife crime amongst youths is a serious and dangerous threat in the U.K. and needs to be completely obliterated from our streets. The Kiyan Prince Foundation is doing great work to educate young people about the tragic consequences of knife crime.\u00a0 It is this education at ground level that is preventing further tragedies such as the one Kiyan and his family have had to suffer and marking the path to positive change,\u201d stated Laban Roomes, CEO, Goldgenie Global.<\/p>\n
