JIM BROWN HITS PAYDIRT
Two great icons, Jim Brown, legendary football star and longtime community
activist, and A. Demetrius “Tony” Brown, trading and commodities mogul and
founder of Las Vegas based CMX Sports and Entertainment, introduced the
“United Front for Economic Growth.” In May 2004 CMX Sports Entertainment
sponsored a Benefit Gala “Honoring Legendary Pioneers.” Saluting Mr. Jim
Brown, Legendary Sports Pioneer and Chairman of the “Amer-I-can Foundation
for Social Change”. “The power is in the relationship,” said CMX Chairman A.
“Tony” Demetrius Brown, announcing his organization would donate $1 million
to the Amer-I-Can Foundation. With celebrated Sports TV Host Roy Firestone
entertaining as Master of Ceremonies, the star-studded event was held in the
expansive Mandalay Bay Grand Ballroom, with notables such as Julius “DR. J.”
Erving, Bill Russell, Eddie Levert of the O‘ Jays present, just to name a
few. Houston’s own Warren Fitzgerald Jr., Attorney At Law wrote and
delivered the Life/Mission statement of the “United Front for Economic
Growth” the operating concept of the joint efforts of CMX Youth Foundation
and the Amer-I-can Foundation for Social Change. Attorney Fitzgerald, a
seasoned trial lawyer of recent Destiny’s Child litigation fame, and Winston
Morgan of CMXSE were instrumental in bringing together Tony “The Tycoon”
Brown and Jim Brown for meetings, which culminated in this historic union.
CMX Sports and Entertainment is pioneering in the sports and entertainment
industries with the concept of creating economic leverage and ownership
through collective action and the pooling of resources through the
financial/investment vehicles of “PAAICO” and “THE CLUB”, both the
brainchild of the “Tycoon”. Jim Brown and the Amer –I- Can has been working
in the inner cities of America with gang members and disadvantaged
communities since 1988 redirecting human potential. CMX Sports and
Entertainment and CMX Youth Foundation proudly joined hands with Jim Brown’s
Amer-I-can Foundation for Social Change to combine the CMX financial and
productive resources with the wisdom and curriculum of Amer-I-can
Foundation, to facilitate the betterment of our communities, the creation of
economic leverage and the regeneration of the lives of youth and those
seeking positive change in their lives. The United Front for Economic Growth
plans numerous events and projects in major cities across the country in the
coming year. |
