Epi.phony VIII Drew Benefit Concert

By, Okorie Johnson

 

The Drew Leadership graciously allowed me to put on a concert in the Yates Campus Theater that would benefit the PTA and the Arts Department. It was such a joy to play in that space and such an honor to play for the Drew family and my Okcello supporters.

 

We had 91 paying folks at the show – 65 adults and 26 kids. After expenses, we made nearly $1200 and, as arranged, $800 (2/3) went straight to Drew - $400 to the PTA and $400 to the Arts Department! I was very happy to be able to deliver those funds today!

 

Special thanks to Reginald Colbert
for getting me in the space, to Marcy

Johnson Dunlap for being the PTA

point person, and Don Doran for

green-lighting the whole affair.

Thanks also Currey Hitchens of the PTA and Charisse Richardson for managing logistics and promotion.

 

And, a big thanks to all of you who came out to see the show!! Drew Makes Me Smile!
