BMI Rewards Students with Surprise Pep Rally

In effort to support education, BMI collaborated with Teach For America to sponsor an end-of-the year pep rally at B.E.S.T Academy in Atlanta on May 16. HOT 107.9 radio personality and comedian Griff joined BMI Vice President, Writer/Publisher Relations Catherine Brewton to offer inspiring words and guidance to the students at the all-male institution. Adding to the excitement of the event was an appearance and private performance from Bad Boy recording artist Yung Joc, who promised the students a trip of their choice upon their return to school in the fall.
