“I realize the success that I have had is truly a blessing.
One thing I’ve always wanted people to realize is, I’m just a
regular guy who grew up in the projects. I used to play ball
and sometimes get into trouble just like everyone else. But
now I own my own record label. With that in mind, I think
anybody growing up in the projects can identify with my
story and say, “I can achieve that too!” I would love for
every kid to be able to see my success as something
achievable. Like my mother always said to me,
“If your mind can conceive it, and
your heart can believe it,
you can achieve it.”
-Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter

2011 CARNIVAL AT PIER 54
• The Concept: “Making the Ordinary Extraordinary”
– We are creating an extraordinary experience at Pier 54 by
bringing carnival and urban block party elements to a historic
outdoor space designed to connect worlds and people together.
– In this rare event, different worlds will be joined at Pier 54 to
produce a whole far greater than its parts. In essence, through
this fundraiser, we are collectively bringing to life what the
Shawn Carter Foundation aims to do: be at the center of
connecting worlds that help “ordinary” people become their
“extraordinary” selves.
– Join us at Pier 54 and connect with a great cause.
