Stand-Up for Georgia’s Kids: A GEEARS Fundraiser featuring Comedian DJ Pryor

GEEARS: Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students is excited to invite you to our annual fundraising luncheon on Thursday, February 16th, at the Buckhead Club.  

This year’s headliner will be motivational speaker, stand-up comedian, and Dad, DJ Pryor. He’s smart, poignant, and funny enough to make you ugly cry. For proof, check out this sweetly hilarious video of Pryor “talking” with his toddler, a clip that went justifiably viral.

The luncheon will also feature a panel discussion on family engagement with Pryor, Fathers Incorporated CEO Kenneth Braswell, the first African American Male Pre-K Teacher of the Year for the State of Georgia, Johnathon Hines, GEEARS’ Pre-K Recruitment Specialist, Dawan Barfield, and others. They’ll further explore the importance of connecting with young children and families in different ways.
