ip Hop superstars Kanye West, Lloyd Banks, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Fat Joe, and Diddy are among the many entertainers daring todays youth to pledge to graduate from high school and pursue higher education.
The dare, aptly titled "The I Will Graduate Campaign," is a joint venture between UK-based web startup Bragster.com and the New York-based nonprofit organization Entertainers 4 Education Alliance.
Students are asked to go to Bragster.com and pledge to graduate, and Bragster has made a pledge of their own: $1 to the organization for every new user who pledges to graduate, help another student to graduate, or both (up to $30,000).
Students who pledge will receive special incentives and an invitation at the end of the school year to a special webcast event with one of their favorite celebrity artists.
The Entertainers 4 Education Alliance is supported by today's top entertainers including the aforementioned as well as Denzel Washington, Allen Iverson, Alicia Keys, Bow Wow, Ja Rule, LL Cool J, Fredro Starr, Justin Timberlake, Rev Run, Jamie Foxx, Russell Simmons, Spike Lee, and many more.
The I Will Graduate Campaign is a national call to action not only for students but also for parents, schools, community leaders, and the entire nation to stand together to make certain that our youth have the support and the tools needed to make achieving a high school diploma a reality.
Please visit Entertainers 4 Education Alliance or Bragster.com for more information.
