Interviews with Royal T., Jada Marie, J-Hut, Bulletz, Kreshai, Tonio of The Ridiculous Kiddz, Elevator J., at The Ketchmore Kids Charity Car Wash Fundraiser

On a previous Saturday (Oct. 15th), in Charlotte, NC.  The Ketchmore Kids Foundation organized a Charity Car Wash Fundraiser event to raise money for children and the forthcoming Ketchmore Kids Annual Toy Drive event to help give gifts to children from less fortunate families around the holidays.  Lots of people showed up to have their cars washed on that lovely Saturday afternoon, and tons of local celebrity recording artists showed up to give back and lend a helping hand with the event.  New Carolina Inquirer contributor and frequent Ketchmore Kids volunteer Jay attended the event, made a donation and was lucky enough to film on the spot interviews with the artists that participated.  In the interviews each vocalist explains why they love and don't mind making time to help out in the community, and assist with Ketchmore Kids.  The artists were humble enough to put Ketchmore Kids first on this day, however we still able to get the artists to plug themselves as well.  You can watch all the interviews by clicking the embedded youtube videos below.
