Introducing the new 5MK (5 MILLION KIDS) project manager for Operation HOPE, Jonathan McCoy

 

John, thank you for the honor of coming onboard the Operation HOPE team to serve as the Five Million Kids (5MK) program manager.  I never would have discovered this opportunity had the Honorable Congressman Elijah Cummings not invited me to his “From Men to Boys”  forum at the September 2009 Congressional Black Caucus where you were one of the featured panelists.  Since you were mobbed  after you wrapped up your session,  I waited amidst the excitement and wondered if I would get the opportunity to meet you to talk about joining Operation HOPE.  I struck up a conversation with George Collins about my interest in Operation HOPE. (George was a stranger to me then but is now a dear friend).  He brought up Martin Luther King’s speech on “The Drum Major Instinct” and the biblical story of disciples James and John in Mark 10:35-45 upon which it is based.  James and John were the only two disciples who asked Jesus directly for what they most desired, and before George left he said, “You have no chance to get what you do not ask for.”

My mentor Quincy Jones inspires a new generation for Haiti relief: WE ARE THE WORLD 25!

My mentor, friend, and 5MK co-chair Quincy Jones has once again taken his game to a new level for the benefit of humanity.  He is always doing "something" for others, but this is special at another level.  Watch it here, as more than 5.7 million people have already in its first few days, but go online to itunes.com or world25.org and make YOUR CONTRIBUTION to help Haiti today!

A special hats off as well to Lionel Richie, the late, great Michael Jackson, Mr. Jamie Foxx and all the other artists (and a few people in the background - smile) who helped to make WE ARE THE WORLD: 25 possible!  A special kudos to my friend and brother Adam Fell from the Q family, who also played a very special role in bringing this edition of WE ARE THE WORLD: 25 for Haiti, to life.

Read the story in USA Today and the Huffington Post here.  One person can make a difference, and your name does not have to be Quincy Jones.  It can be YOU! Donate today!
