#GiveBackSaturday

#DoMoreForOthers

In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Project GiveBack we have compiled a mixtape of positive themed songs entitled Make A Difference Mixtape Volume I.  This served as the soundtrack for GiveBack Saturday 2024 and will continue to resonate with the Project GiveBack team.  The anticipated debut is out now and features some exciting artists.  This project was produced by Ali Glover and Ransom Miller, III and Harrison Miller were executive producers.  This is the first phase of the plan to launch the Make A Difference Youth Poetry and Music Contest.  Make A Difference Mixtape Volume II will feature established artists and participants in the poetry and music contests.  The expected release date of Volume II is tentatively scheduled for February 2025.  Thank you to all of the contributing artists and our outstanding producer Ali Glover.  If you would like more information about the Youth Poetry and Music Contest, please email makeadifferencemixtape@gmail.com.
