Throughout my career as a DJ I have learned many things. One of the most memorable things is that it has kept me focused on what is important in life and kept me on a path other than drugs and gangs. It has been an important part of my life and as such I am now giving back to others. What started as a small favor has grown into something bigger than I ever anticipated and has blessed me with an opportunity to give back to my community.
It started with a recent drive from three 14 year olds who I took under my wing as “DJs in Training.” Since that time, I have received numerous requests from others to join in the program. With opportunity, there also comes a cost, one that I refuse to pass on to anyone in the program. To help fund current and potential participants in the program, I have launched a GoFundMe campaign, the goal of which is to raise $10,000. Proceeds are to be used for additional equipment to take on additional participants.
This is only the beginning as I look to take on additional DJs as mentors and also hope to expand to other communities in the future. Take some time to share this post along with the GoFundMe page (even if you don’t donate). Simply spreading the word is better than nothing and any support is greatly appreciated.
