    DeKalb County Makes May 24th “Lil Jon Day”

    Decatur Metro | May 26, 2011 | 9:51 am

    Allison points out this write up on Pop Dust…

    Lil Jon: Rapper, producer, vocabulary expander, fashion innovator, reality TV show contestant, and now, state-recognized philanthropist. From his work on Season 11 of The Apprentice (also known as Celebrity Apprentice 4), Jonathan Mortimer Smith raised a cool $80,000 for his charity of choice, the United Methodist Children’s Home (UMCH). For his contributions—his “unyielding commitment to raise money in support of children and families” and his “passion for advocacy and outstanding commitment to empowering [the] community,” as the official document states—the county of DeKalb, Georgia has deemed the date of May 24th, 2011 to be “Lil Jon Day”.

    Scott Drake also alerts us to AccessAtlanta’s photo gallery of Lil John’s visit to United Methodist Children’s Home in Decatur.
