The Compton Junior Posse Fundraiser

The Brain Injury Law Center is a major sponsor of the Compton Junior Posse, an organization dedicated to keeping inner-city youth off the streets, out of gangs, and on horses!

As the founder and director of the Brain Injury Law Center, Stephen M. Smith has dedicated his personal time to this philanthropy. The third-annual fundraiser for the Compton Junior Posse was held on May 22, 2010 at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank, California. As the Master of Ceremonies for this event, Stephen M. Smith presented an award to Bruce Smith, a NFL Hall of Fame lineman, honoring his contributions to helping underprivileged children throughout the country. Eric Dickerson, NFL Hall of Fame Running Back and a guest of Stephen M. Smith's, co-presented this award.

Also present at the Compton Junior Posse fundraiser was Roderick Potts, a youth that the Brain Injury Law Center has sponsored with a scholarship to participate in national equestrian competitions.
