A Challenge for Charity
Forum leader Robert Morgan challenges forums to raise money
During the 2015-2016 school year, Morgan wrote a forum rap that was performed during that years Forum Talent Show featuring the names of each of his forumettes. This year, offering his supreme rapping skills up for the good of Community High School (CHS) has agreed to write a rap as well as create a music video for the forum that raises the most money during this year’s Food Gatherers fundraiser. Last year’s fundraiser raised over $30,000- matched by a generous donator. This year CHS hopes to raise $50,000, each dollar being matched dollar for dollar by local donors Harold and Kay Peplau. Young Robert Morgan, no beard, but glasses still perched high on his nose hums to his favorite lines from his rap idol Kanye West’s “See Me Now.” A rap and storytelling enthusiast, Morgan has been rapping since his high school years. He won tickets to see West at the time touring album “College Dropout,” during a rap competition at his school, and the rest, is a myriad of Harry Potter raps. The money raised this year would go straight to those in need in Washtenaw County and would help lower the more than 11,000 children in Washtenaw that are food-insecure.
