UNCF Gig in Indianapolis

We did a beautiful fundraiser date in Indy in support of UNCF, the United Negro College Fund. Established in the 40s, the Fund today supports 65,000 students at 39 traditionally black colleges and universities across the nation.

It was so natural to say, “Yes, I’ll be there.” Education is very important stuff, yet we as a nation are lagging way behind in almost all areas of academic achievement. Funding for schools and teachers is horrible and decreasing.

So we played big and loud for school and schooling, and the people came down to the front to the dance floor, and stayed there for the whole set. Andrea Neely, UNCF Assistant Development Director, led the way, coming right to the edge of the stafe. I held her hand and serenaded her. That was fun and set the tone. Laugh and have a ball and raise some money, too.

Thank you, UNCF!
