A Fresh New Interview.. Now Airing at HaiRadio.com!
Former Gap Band member, Dorian Paul Williams is hitting the road to empower “C” average students. The purpose of the “C Average Scholarship Tour” is to provide scholarships to high school seniors and college students with limited opportunities or other financial resources that will allow them to reach their maximum potential.
The Father’s Who Will Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization birthed through Williams’ own experience of being labeled a “C” average student. He defied the confining nature of academic success and created a musical legacy through his solo R & B career singing with greats such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Celine Dion; authoring family empowerment books such as “Oh Men of America, Where Are You”, as well as being a successful entrepreneur establishing “Acca-Thera-Praise-Music.”
The foundation’s tour and press conferences will kick off by engaging three cities that have been instrumental in supporting both Dorian’s musical career and his philanthropic initiatives: Atlanta, Dallas, and Houston.
The Father’s Who Will Foundation will spend a week in each city campaigning for “C” average students, raising funds for scholarships, and hosting a benefit concert.
Williams’ upcoming projects include a new single release, Thank God for Today, and book, “For Mother’s Sake,” dedicated to his mother Connie. S. Williams who passed away from breast cancer. Both will be released in January 2014 and a portion of proceeds will go towards scholarships as well.
The “C “average high school senior or college student is often perceived as sloppy or careless in preparation, uncommitted, lacking attentiveness, having insufficient effort and ultimately deemed as the “under dog”. The Father’s Who Will Foundation challenges this myth and believes that it is not always those who possess the best grades who will attain a prosperous life. Instead, it is those who discover their passion, have strong familial support, and possess the ability to combine a cunning intelligence with business savvy attributes who will be the future leaders of tomorrow; which includes “C” average students.
“The best gift you can give your child this year is an education”, Williams shares. “This tour will provide treasured gifts for many well deserving candidates.”
