The video caught the eye of administrators at Morehouse College who accepted the teens application but because all financial aid had been exhausted, they will need $10,000.00 to cover the rest of tuition. The CEO of WYMS LLC, Charlette Capers and her associates decided to hold a fundraiser for the two teens and people can make a donation to the cause online or at a private screening for the film "Celies's Revenge" on November 1, 2012 at AMC Theaters - Empire 25, 234 W 42nd St, New York, NY 10036.
