Local Nonprofit to Raise Money by Spring Cleaning

Fundraiser debut to invigorate mind, body and soul

CHARLOTTE, N.C. May 5, 2016 – With warmer weather comes the dreaded chore of spring cleaning;

or maybe it’s not so dreaded after all. One local nonprofit, Enhance My Skills, is using that mantra

for its upcoming summit, Spring Cleaning of the Mind, Body and Soul, being held Saturday, June 4

from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mint Hill Masonic Lodge. The lodge will be filled with community

members and supporters of the nonprofit’s mission to uplift the area’s at-risk youth.

The summit not only provides workshops, tips and encouragement for its attendees; but also serves

as the grand debut for Enhance My Skills and its fundraiser for their greatly anticipated Teen

Conference and scholarship.

As the love-child of Founder Denise L. Jackson, she envisions the Enhance My Skills Teen

Conference becoming the largest gathering of influencers, high school and college-aged youth in

the Southeast.

“I am very excited … that I am able to share my vision and inspiration with others,” expressed

Jackson.

Jackson also notes that Enhance My Skills isn’t an organization that will be competing against other

youth-based programs; “We want to collaborate with, recognize, and uplift all the area

organizations that, like us, care about our youth and their future.”

Literally basing her efforts on the well-known saying ‘A dollar and a dream,’ Jackson’s first efforts

to make a difference for this age group started several years ago by offering online modules and

training for the nominal fee of $1, which Jackson continues today.

“I wanted to make sure that everyone could have access to it [online modules]; one less obstacle in

their way,” stated Jackson, “For some, $1 means so little, and for others, $1 means so much. “

Those interested in participating in the Spring Cleaning of the Mind, Body and Soul summit can

purchase tickets at www.enhancemyskillsteenconference.org/fundrazen/. To join others that have

rallied together through donations of money, in-kind gifts, sponsorship and volunteers, make your
