“The physical education equipment and instruction have greatly enriched our program and the children are having so much fun! Having high quality and the quantity of equipment is rare for childcare centers and even some public schools. It was like Christmas as we unpacked.”

2006 Grant History

Summer Stars Camp for the Performing Arts

With a $70,000 grant, the G-Unity Foundation has made possible for 50 kids from the Jamaica, Queens and surrounding areas, to attend the Summer Stars Camp for the Performing Arts on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Camp provides deserving youth, ages 12 – 16, an intensive experience in the performing arts. This experience provides campers the opportunity to explore and develop their talents. The Camp offers small group programs in improvisational acting, blues performance, dance, musical theater/choral singing, set design, juggling, drumming, and music video production. Through our work together, campers build a level of cooperation and respect that develops a real community atmosphere.

Students selected for the camp will be sponsored by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and The G-Unity Foundation, Inc., and will attend under the newly formed Charles A. Pringle, Jr. Leadership Academy. This new and important aspect to our program was created in honor of a dear friend of Curtis’, who lived by these three powerful words: Decisions Determine Destination. These students will not only have a tremendous experience with the performing arts, but will learn how to embody these three words in their own lives.
