Seven-Year-Old Philanthropist Organizes Star-Studded Concert to Benefit Students
Linthicum, MD (PRWEB) August 01, 2015 -- The First Mt. Olive Freewill Baptist Church in Linthicum, MD will be the site of the Back to School Gospel Explosion, a star-studded evening of music that benefits five local schools to help provide supplies and uniforms for students. The concert is the first of its kind for the event’s organizer, seven-year-old, Makenzee Adams, also known as The Little Boss. In 2014, she became the youngest recipient of the Epnet Legacy Rising Star Award.
“I wanted to have a concert where young people can freely praise the Lord and in the end say I know God and bless students who don’t have what they need for school,” said Adams. “I believe, as a student, it is my job to help other students to be the best they can be.”
The concert will be hosted by well-known life coach and motivational speaker, Kashonna Holland and Comedian, Actor and Radio Personality, Shed G. The Back to School Gospel Explosion boasts an impressive lineup of recording artists and performers and features the Grammy-nominated The Walls Group who were also nominated for eight Stellar Awards.
Gospel artist, musician and BET singing competition winner, Amber Bullock will be performing; as well as the dynamic group, Brandon Camphor & One Way; and recording artist, Therron Fowler. Singer, songwriter, vocal arranger and recording star, Brittney Wright, will perform and attendees will enjoy a unique performance by the Anointed Mimes. Brian Sessions will present a spoken word message and the Community Dance Troop will perform.
Through her company, Little Boss Productions, Adams is conducting the event to help students unable to afford supplies and uniforms for school. Annapolis schools that will benefit are Walter S. Mills-Parole Elementary, Wiley H. Bates Middle School, Annapolis Middle School and Annapolis High School’s theatre and arts department, along with the music department of North Bend Elementary/Middle Schools in Baltimore.
The concert will be held on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2015 at the First Mt. Olive Freewill Baptist Church, located at 618 N. Hammonds Ferry Rd. in Linthicum, MD. Doors open at 4 p.m. and the concert begins at 5 p.m.
