D’Andre Brown Jr., a dedicated student at Edison High School, actively engaged in a community initiative by organizing a fundraiser to support his dream of attending a historically Black College while also showcasing his commitment to inspiring others through his passion for dance.

On Nov. 24, 2025, mentors like Roger Brown from local nonprofit Breath of Evolution and family members rallied together to support D’Andre in hosting a dance-a-thon to raise funds for an HBCU college tour. HBCUs, or Historically Black Colleges & Universities, are institutions that foster academic success and educational equity, which produce a significant percentage of Black professionals and leaders.

“I learned more about Black colleges and what they can do for Black people, and I’ve been interested ever since,” D’Andre said.
