Do it For James Foundation, in partnership with Poetry is Life and the Arts Inclusion Incubator
Join us for an unforgettable evening of spoken word, music, and community as local poets take the stage to honor the legacy of James Woods. This powerful poetry slam, presented by the Do it For James Foundation in partnership with Poetry is Life and the Arts Inclusion Incubator, celebrates healing, resilience, and the power of storytelling. Proceeds support the Foundation’s mission to empower youth, raise awareness, and create change through education and the arts.
The Do It For James Foundation was established to honor the life of James Woods by empowering youth, raising awareness of critical issues such as mental health and online safety, and supporting education and the arts through scholarships and community programming.
This event will bring together local poets and community members in support of the Foundation’s mission, and I want to ensure we’re aligned across operations, marketing, ticketing, and technology.
