I AM MENtality's Fifth Anniversary of Existence Fundraiser
February, 2021
The Hustling Creative could not be more proud to assist in strategy and communication for the I AM MENtality Youth Male Empowerment Project, and that our collaboration has raised a total of $27,500 in a span of two weeks. In Baltimore alone,
- 1,000 people have been killed in the last three years, and 85% were males
- Over 90% of students can't display proficiency in reading and in math.
- Out of I AM MENtality's youth, 90% live in single parent households, over 60% live in areas that are considered food deserts, and the majority live below the poverty line.
Due to COVID,
- 72 million children risk learning poverty
- Only 60% of low income students regularly attend online classes
- 28% of families are food insecure
The money raised will provide
- Mental health services for boys and their parents
- The opportunity to provide physical fitness excursions and career fairs
- IEP's for all students in need of personal learning assistance
- Healthy, consistent food options for the youth and their families.
