Disc
Makers and Usher Partner to Help Needy Kids Leading media manufacturer donates CDs and printing services to
Usher’s New Look Camp in Atlanta
PENNSAUKEN, NJ – JULY 29th, 2005 – Disc Makers, the nation’s leading media manufacturer,
recently donated 500 CDs and printing services to R&B star Usher’s
New Look Camp in Atlanta where inner-city youths had the opportunity
to record and take home their very own song co-produced by Usher himself.
The
first annual New Look Camp took place from July 11-23 on the campus
of Clark Atlanta University. The goal of the camp was to help transform
the lives of needy and troubled youths between the ages of 9-17 by
giving them insight into the music and sports industry and showing
them career options in those industries. Celebrities, VIPs, and professionals
from all areas of the sports and entertainment industries participated
in the camp, which was all about showing kids from around the country
how to take control of their own lives and make the right choices..
“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to help out these
kids,” explains Tony van Veen, Disc Makers’ Executive
Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The mission of Usher’s
New Look Camp and Disc Makers are very similar: both are focused on
empowering people to pursue and achieve their artistic goals. I hope
that once these kids hear themselves on a professionally produced
CD, they’ll be inspired to continue pursuing their musical dreams.
We look forward to a continued relationship with Usher’s New
Look Camp as it makes it way across the U.S.”
