As previously announced, the SoCal Youth TakeOver Festival was developed as a charity fundraiser to empower local youth with a community event that gives them an outlet to enjoy a variety of activities in a safe and fun venue while raising funds for local non-profit organizations including Art Share Los Angeles, Together We Rise, Teen Line and Inner City Kitchen. Adding more to the mix, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and various City Council members are scheduled to make an appearance in support of this great community youth fundraising event.
Also featured will be a special "Dougie" dance contest and tribute to M-Bone, a member of the L.A. based music group Cali Swag District, who was the tragic victim of senseless gun violence just a few months ago. Speaking out against violence and honoring their friend, Cali Swag District and 319 Music will award a prize to the best dancer doing the "Dougie" dance they made famous.
The goal of the 2011 SoCal Youth TakeOver Festival is to create a fun community event that targets our youth by drawing them in with incredible entertainment, and then engages them with opportunities to become better informed young people by visiting the Information Station booths with resources on job training, college scholarships, gang intervention and several different community youth programs. The LAPD Cadets Program, Los Angeles Urban League, Planned Parenthood, AIDS Healthcare Foundation and Community Health Charities have all confirmed participation among many others. Highlighting these organizations and introducing the services they offer to our community will only enhance the development and education of our youth by giving them new tools and resources to become stable, productive, independent young adults.
