This year, I have partnered my brand, JG16, with Merit to design and sell high quality products that help kids get to college. Through your support of this special collaboration, I will match 100% of the sales, dollar for dollar, and the proceeds will be used to help fund Merit's nonprofit work in Detroit, specifically providing college scholarships. Through Merit's FATE Program, currently supporting 175 Detroit youth, students work on real-life business projects which allow them to discover that they can create their own futures. If the students complete the program, they are guaranteed up to $8,000 in college scholarships. Four amazing FATE students - Aaron, Keylee, Kyla and Torion - collaborated with me and graphic designer, Skyler Holt, to develop a special collection of products that speak to our love for Detroit.

Thank you for purchasing our gear and supporting the Youth of Detroit!

For the Future, By The Future!
