Pencils & Dreams

In partnership with Biz Markie’s Just A Friend Foundation, American Beatbox, and Beats Rhymes & Relief, we are excited to announce our Summer Donation Drive that will help unlock the potential of foster children and disenfranchised youth all across New York City.

Between June 16, 2023 and August 31, 2023 we will be collecting NEW school supplies, book bags, iPads, laptops, computers, shoes, clothing, winter coats, hats and gloves that will be distributed by some of our favorite Hip Hop artists and friends along with stakeholders from all of the partnering organizations.
