3LAU donates profits from shows and releases to Pencils of Promise
In the wake of Sandy's east coast destruction we saw numerous artists step up and support the cause, but one DJs charitable efforts exceed isolated incidents. In April, Justin Blau -- better known as 3LAU -- partnered with the non-profit organization, Pencils of Promise to build three schools in developing countries. By donating all the proceeds from his single, "Back to New," Justin was able to raise the requisite $25,000 for the first school within two months, and now the Justo Rufino Primary School in Guatemala is already up and running. After paying the school a visit Justin reports; "their appreciation of the school, and dedication to the youth of the community was unlike anything I've ever seen."
