Football fans take note: The Littlest Lamb, a non-profit organization building an orphanage in Egypt, is honoring legendary soccer star and social activist, Pelé, at their annual fundraising gala on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at The Battery Gardens in downtown Manhattan.

In addition to the major role he plays in the world of sports, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known by his nickname Pelé, is a social activist, serving as a voice for the poor, and specifically committed to focusing his energy on improving the conditions of children living in poverty.

“For all that he has given to society, particularly his outreach, dedication and service to the underprivileged, we could not think of a more worthy recipient to pay tribute to,” states board member Mira Riad. “We are truly honored to have the privilege of raising awareness and support for this noble cause with such a legend as Pelé in what promises to be an incredibly magical and memorable evening.”
