Jimmy Nevis launches Blue Collar Foundation
Cape Town-born musician, Jimmy Nevis has announced the launch of his charity organisation called The Blue Collar Foundation which will aim to inspire and create change among the youth of Cape Town
The Blue Collar Foundation is a philanthropist initiative that hopes to inspire and create change among the youth of Cape Town. Our main focus is to assist in creating opportunities that encourage the youth to dream beyond the means of their social-economic backgrounds.
"Blue Collar was the first song I recorded for The Masses album. The lyrics were inspired by a quote that my mom would always say to me through the hardest of times. 'I don't know when, I don't know how, but we have to believe.' This is the mantra of the Blue Collar song and also what the Blue Collar Foundation hopes to instil within the Cape Town community. " says Jimmy Nevis
One of the first projects to be launched by the Blue Collar Foundation is the J. Nevis Bursary that will contribute towards the funding of an underprivileged high school student(s) seeking tertiary education, within the Humanities faculty at a Western Cape institution. The bursary is effective for the academic year 2016. This will be a project that will continue to be a focus of the Blue Collar Foundation.
This is the first announcement regarding the Blue Collar Foundation. The official launch is due to happen in Spring 2015. Look out for the website which will be going live towards the end of June for more information regarding the foundation, other projects as well as an online application form for the J.Nevis Bursary.
