OVERVIEW



The “Let’s Go Back Tour & Concert Series” (Let’s Go Back) brings free concerts to richly grand, historic,
and nostalgic United States Local Communities. A premium concert series for residents to enjoy in their
own community Lets Go Back is the 70s, 80s, 90s, and Present Soul/Pop/R&B/Jazz/Latin/Funk/Disco/
Gospel/ Rap

This concert series is a much-needed, free public event that will encourage and motivate residents to enjoy their own
community. The benefit of these premium concerts will be that they will create added notability, and an influx of new
tourism into the County. This equates to new monies coming into local community, which will translate to increased retail
revenue funneled into the communities.

Why bring The Lets Go Back Tour & Concert Series to your Community? We seek out key, emerging locales that
afford a significant backdrop for the ever-growing Communities and those that have no concert series for its residents.
Usually other localities in the area have their own concerts—inconveniently causing residents from surrounding districts to
have to travel some distances to enjoy these events.

A high-end concert series would truly serve to highlight a community’s magnificence. This means that those communities
could benefit from the annual influx of dollars brought into other said localities. The ―Let’s Go Back Tour & Concert
Series‖ is just the vehicle needed to generate that much-desired traffic into those communities. The positive monetary
effect to the community is also being noteworthy to mention.

COMMUNITY YOUTH EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVE
This program offers economic support as well as social empowerment to High School students that reside in the
Community. This flagship program will initially offer, up to fifty students, ages 16yrs through 18yrs, the opportunity of
part-time employment with the ―Let's Go Back‖ Concert Series.

CYE is dedicated to creating comprehensive, long-term solutions that give young people in high-risk environments real
alternatives to violence and delinquency while addressing the underlying conditions that influence this self-destructive life
style.

Many low-income communities are experiencing an insurgence of gangs and gang-related activities. Young people have
been misdirected and pressured to join these violent gangs. Like many other cities across the Nation, this activity has
resulted in these areas becoming a harbor where youth violence and drug-related activities flourish. The purpose behind
CYE is to initially focus on and affect a direct response to this crisis through mentorship that will help them achieve
positive life outcome.

The goal of CYE is to establish a community-based organization in that can provide young people with alternatives to
incarceration, the juvenile justice system, as well as those activities that would put them at high risk for truancy,
delinquency, violence and gang activity.

CYE's mission is to foster programs that will take fill the idle time that many youth have during the academic break, and to
offer those in the community a more progressive alternative, and encourage these youth to focus their energy on more
positive and life fulfilling aspirations.

These Programs will run for eight consecutive weeks or the during of the concert series.

  • 3. OVERVIEW The “Let’s Go Back Tour & Concert Series” (Let’s Go Back) brings free concerts to richly grand, historic, and nostalgic United States Local Communities. A premium concert series for residents to enjoy in their own community Lets Go Back is the 70s, 80s, 90s, and Present Soul/Pop/R&B/Jazz/Latin/Funk/Disco/ Gospel/ Rap This concert series is a much-needed, free public event that will encourage and motivate residents to enjoy their own community. The benefit of these premium concerts will be that they will create added notability, and an influx of new tourism into the County. This equates to new monies coming into local community, which will translate to increased retail revenue funneled into the communities. Why bring The Lets Go Back Tour & Concert Series to your Community? We seek out key, emerging locales that afford a significant backdrop for the ever-growing Communities and those that have no concert series for its residents. Usually other localities in the area have their own concerts—inconveniently causing residents from surrounding districts to have to travel some distances to enjoy these events. A high-end concert series would truly serve to highlight a community’s magnificence. This means that those communities could benefit from the annual influx of dollars brought into other said localities. The ―Let’s Go Back Tour & Concert Series‖ is just the vehicle needed to generate that much-desired traffic into those communities. The positive monetary effect to the community is also being noteworthy to mention.

CYE's mission is to foster programs that will take fill the idle time that many youth have during the academic break, and to offer those in the community a more progressive alternative, and encourage these youth to focus their energy on more positive and life fulfilling aspirations. These Programs will run for eight consecutive weeks or the during of the concert series. ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT: Fifty CYE placement opportunities with our annual Let’s Go Back Tour & Concert Series will be available to deserving youth. During the program, youth mentorship and training for the positions will take place. WEEKLY YOUTH MENTORSHIP: Corporate professionals, social specialist, local politicians, Employment Agencies, community affairs representatives, and the Military will conduct ten seminars.

We recognize the extraordinary new economic burden that shadows the people of Haiti. Each year the ―Let's Go Back‖ Concert Series will be committed to the implementation of creative fundraising strategies that will directly support Haiti. In addition to monetary charity efforts, the collection of can goods, bottled water, clothing, and other bare necessities are just a few of the way the concert series will help.
