Originally Connection and You and then the Distinguished Gentleman’s Club, now Lowcountry Youth Services, the 501c3 nonprofit served 1,200 children between 2016 and 2023. The organization’s vision is “Every Child Wins” and the nonprofit’s mission is to provide Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester County youth the tools they need to succeed in every area of their lives. Executive Direct ReZsaun Lewis and Associate Executive Director McKendrick Dunn shared the tools Lowcountry Youth Service provides to the boys and girls that are part of one of their five programs. They serve children both inside and outside of school and have community service as one of the elements that youth in the program are part of. Both gentlemen provided specifics in the ways Lowcountry Youth Services assist those in the program and shared their thoughts on the importance of the nonprofit in our community. They discussed the needs that the organization has, both financially and from a volunteer standpoint as mentoring is a huge part of what they do. Lewis and Dunn also shared their passion for Lowcountry Youth Services and discussed what they personally get from being involved and the joy that volunteers and families receive when they give of their time.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SELECTS STAR 99.7
Charleston, SC (January 9, 2024) – When President Joe Biden decided to visit Charleston, he agreed to a single radio interview, with the people’s station, WXST-FM, Star 99.7.
Monday, as part of his campaign kickoff, President Biden traveled to the state that helped him secure the Democratic nomination in the 2020 election. On this trip to the Holy City, the President spoke at the historic Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church, where nine black parishioners were murdered in 2015.
Following his speech, the President made a visit to Hannibal’s Soul Kitchen, the family-owned restaurant known as the place that “feeds the soul of the city.” It was at Hannibal’s that Mr. Biden sat down to speak with Star 99.7.
The conversation with President Biden touched on a number of topics important to Lowcountry residents. You’ll hear the personal thoughts of POTUS on issues ranging from women’s reproductive rights to student loan debt relief and more! The one-on-one interview will be played in its entirety this Friday morning at 7:15 during Savannah J and Friends, inside the Steve Harvey Morning Show on Star 99.7.
