Impact Artist Darryl "DMC" McDaniels Kicks Off DC's Foster Care Campaign

The Washington Post reports rap legend and Impact Artist Darryl “DMC” McDaniels returned to Washington following his January performance at the Impact Film Fund’s “Artists Making an Impact” event to promote the city's foster home program. He learned he was adopted as an infant ten years ago, which was chronicled in the documentary DMC: MY ADOPTION JOURNEY. He subsequently has dedicated significant time to recruiting foster families and adoption. McDaniels is taping ads for the city’s program, funded by a $100,000 donation from Freddie Mac Foundation in the hopes of finding 500 new D.C. homes within 18 months. Do you have what it takes?
