As musicians and creatives, "TANKPROOF" is our first giveback aiming aid the community around us. We all know the stereotype: African-Americans don't/can't swim. Truth is, in this stereotype, there's a bit of truth. The harsh reality is 70% of African-American children don't know how to swim. In response to this eye-opening statistic, we sought out to help make a change and promote progress in this area. Launching Year One, our initial goal was to raise enough money for 10 children, but with the support of the Baton Rouge community as well as local media outlets, we were able to raise enough money to give the gift of swimming to 70 children. Year Two we were able to serve 120+ kids and young adults over two sessions. This year we have our sights set to raise the bar even higher as we endeavor to provide this life skill to as many kids as we can, who wouldn't otherwise have this opportunity.
