The 5-day tour will be anchored by a daily 5-hour radio live broadcast ori ginating from locations in Brooklyn, Bronx, Harlem, Queens and Newark, NJ (heard via 107.5 WBLS-FM). While the holidays can be the most joyful times of the year, they can also be the most stressful times of the year as people are faced with the decision of want vs. need.
Having recognized that one small act of consideration or selflessness can impact a life on a major level, the “Egypt’s Give Back Tour” was birthed.”Recent statistics report that well over a half a million NYC residents will lose their unemployment benefits between now and May of 2011. That number is staggering!” Egypt stated. “I’ve always felt a sense of responsibility to utilize the power I have behind the radio microphone to serve a much greater calling to help our communities; one that gives a voice and hope to the legions of Tri-state residents whose basic everyday needs might otherwise go unmet. The Give Back Tour is a big step in that direction,” Egypt added.
Listeners are encouraged to donate new or clean, barely worn coat or unwrapped toys for all ages. Please be advised that financial donations will be accepted as well.?Donations will be accepted from 10am-3pm on the dates listed below:Monday, December 13thBrooklyn Center For Performing Arts2900 Campus RoadBrooklyn, NY 11210Tuesday, December 14thUptown Grand2110 Seventh Ave.@ 125th StreetHarlem, NY 10027Wednesday, December 15thParadise Theater2413 Grand ConcourseBronx, NY 10468Thursday, December 16thMetro PCS162-01 Jamaica AvenueJamaica Queens, NY 11432Friday, December 17thThe Spot Lounge45 Commerce StreetNewark, NJ 07102-4002″Egypt’s Give Back Tour” is brought to you in part by generosity from the Egypt Cares Family Foundation, 107.5 WBLS, I For Talent Management, Brooklyn Center For Performing Arts, Uptown Grand, Paradise Theater, Metro PCS and The Spot Lounge.
