D.E.T.D.F.’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt

There is so much negative publicity surrounding celebrities in this day and age. The media has a fascination with celebrities – where they travel, what they wear and just about anything else you can imagine.  What we do not often hear is the good many do in their respective communities and the leadership roles they often take on in order to benefit the youngest members of those areas.

Enter “DJ Ro” Watts and LaJoan Williams of the DON’T EVEN TRIP DREAM FOUNDATION or D.E.T.D.F.

D.E.T.D.F.’s mission is to unite communities using entertainment as the avenue to make that happen. Being involved in the entertainment industry affords a great deal of influence, and with that comes the responsibility to take care of the world around you.  That is just what Watts and Williams are doing through D.E.T.D.F.

D.E.T.D.F. strives to positively impact the New Orleans, Louisiana area and is doing a tremendous job with this endeavor.  The organization’s goal is to deliver happiness to the homes of others and to encourage everyone to do the same. D.E.T.D.F. encourages others to lend a helping hand and to stand for a cause, especially during the holiday season.

D.E.T.D.F. needs your help this Easter Week. They are holding their 1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2011 from 1p.m.–5p.m. in New Orleans’ Forstall Park in the Lower 9th Ward. They are seeking donations to provide candy, food, drinks, and raffle prizes for kids in the New Orleans area. The Easter Egg Hunt was created for kids ages 2–12 years of age so that they can enjoy a day of fun and encouragement.

Any help you can provide to D.E.T.D.F. is appreciated. The organization is in need of:

  • Easter Candy
  • Water
  • Juice
  • Raffle Prizes
  • Hot Dogs
  • Snacks
  • Gift Cards
  • Tables
  • Chairs
  • Tents
  • Monetary Donations

All contributors will receive recognition. Donations are needed by April 21, 2011.

If you need more information, you can contact Ro Watts or LaJoan Williams at 504-208-7248 or by email at detdreamfoundation@gmail.com.  You may visit the organization’s website at www.donteventripdreamfoundation.org .

  2. The Heat supports Ro & LaJoan in their endeavors to help the city, state and country. New Orleans is a beautiful jewel that must not be lost in the red tape of local, state and federal politics and we definitely cannot continue to lose our children to the violence wrought on the city by the countless years of being ignored. Thank you for your reply and your support to the Dream Foundation and community.
