Reverend Run, Bow Wow and Lil Mama are joining a celeb-filled effort to curb high school dropout rates with a new Public Service Announcement titled “I Will Graduate.”       

John Starks (The New York Knicks), Jaslene Gonzalez (America’s Next Top Model) and R&B star Omarion have also teamed with The Entertainers 4 Education Alliance in its effort to stress the importance of graduating high school.      

"We are very excited about launching this campaign,” said E4EA co-founder Tonya Lewis. “Our goal is to grab the attention of our youth in yet another attempt to encourage them to choose education. We hope everyone will join us with our movement as we look to help change the trajectory of today's at risk youth."      

E4EA is a non-profit organization that works with a number of high profile rappers, actors and athletes to encourage high school students to focus on education. The “I Will Graduate” campaign is its call to students, parents and the community to increase educational achievement.       

BET’s Terrance J., Lil Mama, Starks and Councilman Robert Jackson will officially launch the print and radio television ads today at the Samsung Experience at the Time Warner Building, from 6 to 9 p.m. For more information visit: http://www.e4ea.org.
