On Friday, August 5, The Dave Matthews Tribute Band headlined the Downtown Sundown Concert Series. The show raised $650 for Kids Making It (KMI).
KMI is a youth micro-enterprise that offers at-risk teens long-term, consistent mentorship, vocational instruction, and entrepreneurial training. Job placement and college admissions assistance are offered as well to help them transition successfully from high school into college or the workforce. Kids Making It also serves youth who are high-functioning autistic or with Asperger's Syndrome. Recommended as a national model program, KMI has won numerous national, state and local awards for its work.
Kids Making It will use the funds raised to purchase wood and supplies for teens to make the products they sell. Wristbands will be sold for $1.00 per person at Downtown Sundown for the remainder of the series. WDI will be splitting the proceeds with local charities and nonprofit organizations each week up to $1,000. Please visit www.wilmingtondowntown.com for a list of charities and corresponding dates.
