Bold Media Donates Website to AFRP Convention

LIVONIA -- The Livonia Web design and development firm Bold Media announced it had donated a Web site and professional promotional services to assist in the marketing and technical efforts of the 55th annual American Federation of Ramallah Palestine convention, to be held at the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center from July 4-6.

Every year, the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine (AFRP), a not-for-profit organization, sets the stage for dialogue and unity around the world in the largest Palestinian family reunion in the United States. The event is expected to draw a crowd of 4,000 from around the country.

In 2008, metro Detroit hosted the 50th Annual AFRP Convention and has been selected to once again host the 2013 convention.

Bold Media, through its community work and involvement, believes it has an influential role in strengthening the communities in which we live and work.

"At Bold Media we value our community relationships and recognize that our success is based on those around us," said Haitham Fakhouri, CEO and owner of Bold Media. "We welcome the opportunity to lend our expertise to help community organizations flourish in metro Detroit."

The convention Web site, http://afrpconvention2013.com, which was created and designed by Bold Media, will offer attendees more information regarding convention activities, online registration, hotel details, and highlight Detroit attractions. Convention activities are limited to registered members only.

Ramallah is a Palestinian city in the central West Bank, approximately 10 miles north of Jerusalem. The American Federation of Ramallah Palestine, founded in 1958 and headquartered in Detroit, was established to orient the American public with Arab culture and heritage, as well as promote a better understanding of the political aspirations of the Palestinians and Arabs in general. The Federation has grown throughout the country and includes local chapters in 18 states and 26 cities. These chapters are referred to as the Ramallah Clubs.
