African-American Teen to Present Check to Black-owned Business Damaged by Riots

17-year-old entrepreneur and President of Last Hope USA CJ Pearson and Georgia Association of Minority Entrepreneurs President Thomas Dortch joined Janice Wilborn, the owner of Wilbourn Sisters Designs, for a check presentation in the amount of $10,000. 

This contribution is made possible by Pearson’s efforts. Pearson launched an online fundraising campaign that raised more than $160,000 to help offset the costs of damages incurred by black-owned businesses throughout the country due to rioting. Pearson partnered with Mr. Thomas Dortch and the Georgia Association of Minority Entrepreneurs (GAME) to establish the GAME Relief Fund which will continue to make contributions to eligible businesses in the days and weeks to come.
