This campaign solicits local and international sponsorship to help donate school bags and stationery to needy students. Activities leading up to the fun day are showcased on The Release. The Release Innovation Challenge Community College Tour This tour targets all 8 Community Colleges in Jamaica. We challenge students to be innovators addressing the need for new inventions and technologies. We host seminars and have great performances. The Release Street Recognition Awards The Release believes in promoting and endorsing street culture. We award deejays and other dancehall influencers on their turf and broadcast it on television. These individuals have assisted in building the dancehall culture but are often forgotten.
