St. Louis-based Rent One will host a BBQ college fundraiser for a longtime friend and APRO scholarship recipient Javontay Moss at Dr. and Marilyn Parks’ Farm on Saturday, June 9, in Mount Vernon, Illinois. Rent One’s Employee Development Director David Keen has been Moss’ Big Brother through the Big Brothers Big Sisters of American program for 15 years and hopes the donations received will help cut costs for college tuition.
Moss will be attending his third year at the University of Southern Indiana where he has accepted a job as a Resident Assistant. Thus far he has accumulated zero student loans and Rent One hopes to offset any expenses he will have during his Junior year in school. Upon graduation, Moss plans to enter the Ministry and attend seminary school. He will spend the remainder of the summer working as a Youth Minister at the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church until he returns to school in the Fall.
For those who wish to donate to the college fundraiser, contact David Keen at dkeen@shoprentone.com or 618/316-9502.
