EXCLUSIVE: GCH’S TRAVIS MCCOY x MTV CELEBRATE “STAY ALIVE FOUNDATION” IN NYC

Str8NYC joined Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy and MTV to celebrate the “Staying Alive Foundation” at Broadway East in NYC. It was celebration for all their awesome work the Staying Alive Foundation in their latest initiative on HIV/AIDS prevention this year, as well as the global premiere of MTV’s new documentary & Travis McCoy’s “Unbeaten” track.

As ya gurl arrived at the venue, the lowkey scenery seemed a bit a sketchy and I began to doubt my attendance. However, as I awaited admittance into the party I spotted UK’s finest Estelle hop out the tinted-up SUV with her all boy entourage…that was enough to convince me I was at the right spot. Luckily I rolled my gal pals, Aishah & Danica, otherwise being one of the first ten people getting the party started would’ve bit somewhat difficult. And thanks to the complimentary patron cocktails and the tasty hors d’oeuvres, made this party all the better. After a few sips of our cocktails and a lil’ chit chat, we quickly made our way upstairs were more action and mingling began. Within thirty minutes into the party I made it a point to chop it up with Estelle…for anyone who knows me, knows I’m huge a Estelle fan…if you’ve listened to her album then you’d know why. We laughed, sip on cocktails, she introduced me to her brother and her boy a DJ Trauma from ATL. Shortly after Travis McCoy and the Gym Class Heroes stepped in the room and took their seat at a reserved table. As my girls rushed to the bar for more Patron, I held down the fort and managed to strike up a lil’ convo with Travis…talking about my college town aka his hometown, Geneva, NY- six hours north of NYC.

After about an hour, MTV’s Kim Stolz got the crowd’s attention and began presenting some important people such as Natalia Coles, Co-Founder or “Carolina Empowerment Group, Inc” in South Carolina- an organization focused on ‘empowering people day by day’ and educating the community about HIV/AIDS prevention. Did you know that 1 in 20 people in South Carolina are either HIV/AIDS infected? WOW! Travis also took the stage to talk about his world-wide effort with MTV’s “Stay Alive Foundation” as well as gave the crowd a sneak peek at a new documentary and premiered his new video “Unbeaten”.

The celebration continued shortly after the speeches and videos…the bubbly kept flowing and food kept coming and that’s when the dancing began, at least for a lil’ bit. Hands down this event gets an A+ with flying colors. Check out some of pics and video I snagged…Enjoy!
