Atlanta, GA - The Dallas Austin Foundation recently hosted its 3 rd Annual Don’t Stop the Music Gala at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. The astonishing guest list included names from all walks of life such as Pastor Paula White and rapper Young Jeezy; who both dressed to impress with different styles. Pastor Paula White displayed a nice leopard print evening gown that was in the style of a haulter top. On the funky side of the spectrum was George Clinton, dressed with a pair of very sporty, and bright tennis shoes to top off his wild hair.

The event involved a sit down dinner, the gala portion, and also a concert, and guest appearances from Cedric the Entertainer, Fantasia, Monica, Tyler Perry and Jermaine Dupri. The event was spectacular: eating, drinking, and fundraising for a great cause is always a reason to have fun.
Dallas Austin has done a great job the past three years with this event, which sets out to support young students involved in music. It excels beyond all means by focusing on helping students develop through the art of music and film.
