POSNER FUNDS COLLEGE FOR FRIEND'S DAUGHTERS

Island Records artist Mike Posner, presently on a journey to walk across America, has started a Go Fund Me page for his beloved friend's daughters' college tuition.

All donations will go to Aautumn and Wynter Posey whose father, Ronnie Nelson Posey II, passed away in March 2019. Posner posted a short video on his YouTube channel, in which he explains:

"My name is Mike Posner and I am walking across America. I’ve walked over 2,000 miles so far, across 11 states. I’m walking across America for myself, but I’m walking across Arizona for Ronnie.

Ronnie Posey II was one of my best friends growing up. After my dad died, he always drove to my mom’s house to give her a gift on Mother’s Day. On February 27th, 2019, right before I started this walk. Ronnie passed away in his sleep, at home in Detroit. He was 31 years old.

At the funeral, my mom and I watched, heartbroken, as Ronnie’s two daughters, Aautumn and Wynter, looked into the casket and saw their dad for the last time. When I spoke at the funeral, I made a commitment that I would help make sure these two amazing girls were taken care of. That’s why I’m raising $100,000 to make sure Aautumn and Wynter can go to college, debt free.

If we raise $50,000 – I’ll drop a new song. If we raise $100,000 – I’ll drop a new mixtape. #keepgoing."
