Swizz Beatz helped to raise over $100K!!!!!!!!!!
Grammy Award Winning Artist & Producer Swizz Beatz partnered with Bronx Charter School for the Arts for a successful night of fundraising and live performances by Estelle and Swizz Beatz himself. There were tons of notables and celebrities in attendance, including actress Tika Sumpter (Gossip Girl, The Game), Ali (A Tribe Called Quest), recording artist Shontelle, Pilar Sanders and many others.
The event was not your typical fundraising initiative . . . it was so much more! The event featured a live auction highlighting students' art work. Swizz Beatz brought some of his own personal memorabilia from his celebrity friends, including autographed CD set from Beyonce, a signed entire collection of Jay-Z CDs + book autographed and VIP tickets to an Alicia Keys sold out concert + backstage passes. The icing on the cake was the performance by Grammy Award Winning, International Recording Artist Estelle. She did a fantastic job. Swizz Beatz surprised the audience by performing for almost an hour of his oldies but goodies hits and new songs set to release later this year. The crowd was screaming and dancing and the excitement to give even more definitely filled the room. Swizz Beatz made it clear that all funds raised through the fundraiser would be used to build a computer center, as well as help to create an after-school program for the students attending Bronx Charter School.
I was so inspired by the event's mission and Swizz Beatz's dedication to supporting kids and their desire to pursue their creative interests. Often times, many students who are talented, young artists don't get the support they need because schools don't have the resources to engage the students. This event was dedicated to proving that theory wrong!
FAB was on the scene and captured tons of pics! Enjoy!
