Dennis Burgess started out wanting to throw hot parties and events. But the needs of his community would eventually catch up to his big dreams of entrepreneurship, and transform them into a philanthropic mission.
Witnessing a new generation of young people fall prey to the same negative influences that plagued his peers growing up, Dennis is determined not to see another young person become victim to the same fate.
Oh, and he's NOT going to wait for a politician to do something about it.
