The Stafford Foundation, committed to helping distressed individuals, announced it's inauguration celebrations at the JW Marriott Washington, D.C.

"Our foundation is thrilled about the unprecedented opportunity to bring Americans of every walk of life together for a momentous celebration," said founder Earl W. Stafford, Sr. "We are committed to giving the underserved a chance to prosper and thrive, and these events will offer them a front-row seat to our nation's historic celebration in downtown Washington."

The foundation's $1 million investment will allow participants to be able to attend the events and have lodging provided. A portion of the tickets will be distributed to hundreds of marginalized Americans who have facilitated hope and change in their communities.

Stafford added, "The People's Inaugural Project offers the underprivileged in our society a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come to our nation's capital and join in the watershed inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama. It's a historic investment for our foundation."
