PARADISE - A Hip Hop & Afro House fundraiser for JUST HELP AFRICA


FRIDAY APRIL 21 / 9PM - 1AM

COMMON HOUSE


The theme of the 11th Annual Tom Tom Festival is FUTURE FORWARD—and it's all bringing many different communities together to build a brighter tomorrow.

We think dancing is a pretty big part of that!


In partnership with FUN Cville, we’ll be heading to Common House for multi-level dance parties with different genres and DJs. So get your dancing shoes, and a fun outfit, and grab your friends! Bring all the best vibes for two nights out in the community.


For PARADISE, we’ll be supporting JUST HELP AFRICA, the non-profit efforts of Tom Tom Board Member, Eze Amos, and Dance Series Hosts, Tunji Soroye & Zikki Munyao, to bring resources to their communities in Nigeria.

Our Host Committee Members have big hearts. Part of this engagement at Tom Tom will be to highlight and elevate the work of Tunji Soroye, Zikki Munyao, & Eze Amos, and their new nonprofit, JUST HELP.


As a native Nigerian, Tunji started Just Help because he saw firsthand the difference that something considered "very little" in the US could make in his home community in Africa. Starting with a youth development program centered around basketball, JUST HELP focuses on education and providing access to clean water.
