Hello Gentlemen and Ladies of course.
Mods if this out of line or in the wrong place please feel free to punish me.
The reason I am posting this is that I work at a small Charter School here in Colorado Springs. We are called Community Prep School and work with High School kids ages 14 to 21 for a self paced credit recovery program.
We have kids from all backgrounds, over all they are great kids who need strong role models and guidance in their lives. We provide a lot of different opportunities and assistance with internships around town. We have a makeshift music/studio program that is run by an individual with some inside knowledge of the music industry and self promoting. He is using this to teach a group of students how to record, mix, edit and perform their own music.
They have worked throughout this past school year to develop their skills and have actually produced and performed their own music. The program is called School of Rap. Yes, I know what you're thinking, rap music? It is popular with the kids but this is their outlet and form of therapy.
Using his connections in the industry he has secured some spots at the BET Awards show this June in LA. This was a very short notice opportunity but some of the students will be trying to accompany him to meet with some of the big shots and promote the program.
The jest of this is if you have not guessed by now is that we at the school are trying to raise funds to get them there. Staff are giving private donations to get them there.
We are trying to raise funds for the following things.
AirlFare for three from Denver to LA.
Hotel Stay for the weekend of June 6th to the 10th.
New clothing for at least 3 students to wear to the event.
Incidental Costs such as Food and local transportation.
If you feel this is something you can dip into your ammo money and support please contact me using PM.
The two students attending are good kids who have the talent and a chance to get their shot.
I have worked with them at this school for a couple of years and this program has turned them around.
I appreciate your time and consideration.
I would not be asking if I didn?t believe in these two boys.98866
