Gofere, the pan-African sports brand, recently received a significant recognition from the Government of the United States, specifically from the county executive of Montgomery County, Maryland. This recognition was awarded in acknowledgment of Gofere's partnership with the Grand African Run and the African Impact Award. These events have attracted thousands of African American Diasporas and their families and friends.

The Grand African Run, held annually in Alexandria, Virginia, on the 12th of October, 2024, saw Gofere serve as the official apparel and gear partner for the second consecutive year. Runners participating in the event donned special running kits prepared by Gofere. In addition to the Grand African Run, Gofere was recognized at the 6th African Impact Award ceremony, held at the Metro Points Hotel on the 13th of October, 2024. This prestigious event honored notable individuals from various disciplines for their significant contributions to their communities in Africa and around the world. Among the awardees was Gofere, recognized by the event organizers Nova Connection through Dr. Gashaw Abeza. The signed recognition certificate from Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich was presented to Gofere's brand ambassador, Elite Instructor Abraham Mebratu, a FIFA and CAF technical instructor.

Gofere's involvement in sports events with the African diaspora in Africa and Europe has been longstanding, demonstrating the brand's commitment to fostering a sense of Pan-African spirit and connection between the motherland Africa and the African diaspora. Through unique designs and products rooted in African culture, Gofere has been successful in bridging the gap between the African communities across the globe and promoting unity and solidarity among people of African descent.

Gofere's recognition by the Government of the United States is a significant milestone for the brand and reflects the positive impact it has had on the African diaspora community. By partnering with events like the Grand African Run and the African Impact Award, Gofere has demonstrated its commitment to promoting African culture and unity through sports.
