Believing in Forever Inc

My name is Devine Carama, a hip hop artist, youth advocate, and founder of the Lexington, KY youth nonprofit, Believing In Forever Inc. Over the last 12 years, our annual "A Coat To Keep The Cold Away '' youth coat drive has been able to secure and donate over 28,000 BRAND NEW coats for youth in need in eastern and central Kentucky! 

This fall, we will facilitate our 13th Annual "A Coat To Keep The Cold Away" youth coat drive, and we are looking to partner with you and many community members once again to help us reach our goal this winter. The unique thing about our coat drive is that we only accept NEW coats. We not only want to provide struggling families with a little helping hand during the holiday season but also build confidence in young people and empower them.  Many of the youth we serve don’t often receive brand-new items, so we feel that giving them something new will inspire them to pay good deeds forward one day, when they are in a position to help others! 

We work directly with the Family Resource Centers in the schools we serve to obtain the total number of coats requested by families in need, along with the gender of each coat. As a 501 (c) (3) local nonprofit in good standing, Believing In Forever Inc. is humbly asking you or your business to sponsor or donate to our youth coat drive this year!

 Our mission is to inspire and motivate young people towards community leadership through art, education, mentoring, and community service! We encourage youth to define their purpose through their gifts and talents.
