The 321Life +1 Project began senior year in high school when Brandon realized other students were in need of funds to attend prom. He decided to use his art gift by selling cards to the community. He raised enough money to sponsor students expenses for the winter formal and prom. They were SO excited. Brandon purchases “Never Give Up!” awards, and gives youth first time experiences. He continues taking art classes to improve his craft to provide future opportunities like this.
“Brandon is engaged in an intellectual journey through his artwork. He plots and plans. He works and reworks his projects until he can’t find anything more to fix. He is self-motivated, excels at his craft and a pleasure to know.”
