We're extremely pleased to have as our keynote speaker Lansing's own 3 time Grammy Award Winning Music Producer Khari "Needlz" Cain. Needlz was born Khari Cain in Lansing, Michigan. He began to DJ while an undergraduate in Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University and Florida State University and majored in the graduate music business program at New York's prestigious NYU. He was to pursue a career in artist and repertoire, but after attaining an internship with Bad Boy Records, Khari was inspired to begin a career in record production. Needlz chiefly produces songs in the hip hop genre. He describes his style as "an oxymoron: clean and dirty at the same time. Khari is the son of Dr. & Mrs. Eugene Cain.
We are also pleased to announce this years Child Advocate will be Waverly High School Deputy Principal, Mr. Tracy Thomas.
Each year the Foundation awards grants to organizations/agencies that provide services to at-risk youth in career, educational and other interdisciplinary activities.
