Ruey Classic 2023- Music DJ
ORGANIZATION: SoulPhamm Inc
Please visit the new page to apply.
The Ruey Classic is an annual basketball game which celebrates the life of co-Founder Luis Herrera, who passed away suddenly in 2021 and the anniversary of the nonprofit he helped begin - SoulPhamm. You may learn more about SoulPhamm at www.soulphamm.org.
This year's Ruey Classic will be held in downtown Newark (YMCA) on Saturday, June 24th from 12pm to 5pm. There will be approximately 100 people in attendance. The event raises funds for program operations for the upcoming season.
We are hoping to attract a volunteer who can "DJ" for this event. There will be a basketball game, as well as a few performances and we are looking for someone who can help keep audience engagement and entertainment in between all of the acts. The event starts at 1pm, but the DJ can arrive to set up/sound check at 12pm if needed.
Interested candidates should reach out with questions (and to receive more information). Many thanks for your interest!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of young people by providing unique artistic and athletic experiences and performances, and to assist them in achieving the highest standards of professionalism through the development of discipline, skill, confidence, cooperation, leadership, responsibility and character.
Description
Our vision is to promote virtue, equity, unity, justice, faith, charity and a sense of common purpose and brotherhood among all people with an emphasis on the development and advancement of young people through education, athletics, service and the arts.
SoulPhamm was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the state of New Jersey on June 25, 2021 and is the "birth-child" of Coach Luis ("Lou") and Dr. Leisa Herrera ("Mz. Doc"). The organization exists to provide training to young people in a variety of sports and performing arts and unique opportunities to display those talents through competition and performance. By integrating mentoring, life skills, opportunities for community service and academic enrichment to the athletic/artistic program, we help make our scholar-athletes as well-rounded as possible, capable of meeting and overcoming any challenges they are faced with. Although Coach Lou passed away suddenly in January 2021, the official launch of SoulPhamm was held on June 26, 2021, which coincided with his birthday weekend. SoulPhamm will recognize its own founding, as well as the achievements of our young people every year on the fourth Saturday of June, as a tribute to the life and legacy of Coach Lou.
