Finding Forever

Giving back is fantastic. But as I have posed of the United Negro College Fund, I do not know one individual who has received a scholarship courtesy of the United Way. If you have received one from either of these sources please, identify yourself, so that I can know that they really do claim to do what they say they do.

Jay-Z Benefit Concert @ Carnegie Hall

In his most intimate performances in years, Shawn “JAY Z” Carter will headline at Carnegie Hall, in the Stern Auditorium, raising millions for the United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation on February 6, 2012 at 8:00pm and February 7, 2012 at 9:30pm.  Concert goers will get a once in a lifetime experience as JAY Z takes the stage at the New York landmark to raise dollars that will help boost on-time graduation rates in undeserved New York City schools and put college within reach for low-income students across the five boroughs. via PRNewswire
