#TheRippleEffect Benefit Concert
Northeast Performing Arts Group ("NEPAG"), is an award-winning, culturally based arts and education program whose mission is "to develop and foster the creative talents of at-risk inner city youth in the Northeast/Southeast corridors of Washington, DC through performing and visual arts, as an alternative to street life and to teach them the invaluable lessons of discipline, commitment and team motivation. Ms. Rita Jackson, was the Founder/ Director of the outreach program.
Ms. Rita Jackson, a pillar in Washington DC, took her final bow on January 8, 2016. Her untimely passing, pushed me to develop my FIRST project, #TheRippleEffect Benefit Concert, to raise money to keep North East Performing Arts Outreach Youth Center open. This program is imperative to keep open because its been transforming untrained inner city youth, lives and introducing them to all forms of the performing arts that they will not have access to because the lack of finances. The young people who have benefited from this program has excelled and developed into teachers, lawyers, architects and professional performing artists working in arenas across the United States. #TheRippleEffect Benefit Concert is to pay homage to one woman who made such a difference in my life and so many others by her advocacy to cultivate kids to reach their highest potential.
#TheRippleEffect Benefit Concert is going to tackle tough topics that youth in this generation face every day living in the inner city. #TheRippleEffect Benefit Concert wants provoke conversation through movement and bring awareness that being a product of your environment doesnt have to have a negative connotation. That one kind act in your community can have ripples effects on multiple people lives.
The proceeds will specifically go to keeping children enrolled in NEPAG program and restoring the furnace in our facility. I am producing many other fundraising events in hopes to meet my goal. I am now 26 years old, living in Los Angeles California as a professional dancer. I feel the responsibility to develop #TheRippleEffect Benefit Concert to help others kids have the opportunity to see pass their circumstances and dare to dream, like I was encouraged to do! With your help, you can fuel the passion of so many kids while being entertained at the first #TheRippleEffect Benefit Concert come December 10th!
