Community Empowerment Tour Today In Charlotte

I found out about this event this morning and thought I'd share it in hopes that some of you can make it out, because it addresses some important issues. The 2011 Verizon Community Empowerment Tour is in Charlotte today, taking place 12-4 p.m. at Knight Theater, 430 S. Tryon St. Admission is free.

The event is hosted by gospel radio and TV personality (BET's Lift Every Voice) Cory "CoCo Brother" Condrey and features top gospel artists from Verizon’s How Sweet The Sound, including Brian Courtney Wilson and Wess Morgan. There's also a panel of speakers that includes syndicated radio personality Warren Ballentine, special guest Terrence J from BET's 106 & Park, and community leaders.

The Verizon Community Empowerment Tour offers workshops, speakers, and panel discussions to provide practical solutions to the needs of people and their families. You can expect to receive information on: educating your children, achieving financial freedom, career enhancement, and improving your health and wellness. And one more thing you'll be particularly interested in: they're giving away a $250 cash prize every hour. Click here for more details.
