Launching September 29th at a private event in Los Angeles' infamous South Central, the  innovative initiative will attempt to sparks interest in the school activities by finding nearly 25,00 volunteers for classrooms around the country while opening nearly 50,000 new bank accounts for those who have been traditionally deemed “unbanked” and under banked.”

Among those slated to help Jones in his ambitious endeavor are ambassador Andrew Young, a myriad of celebrities, John Hope Bryant, Founder and CEO of Operation Hope, and School Superintendent for the Los Angeles School District, Ramon C. Cortines. 

In other Quincy Jones news, the perennial hit maker is currently working on a star-laden tribute to the “King of Pop“, Michael Jackson. Currently the presentation is scheduled to be ready in October.
