The Team: - DeShaun Rice (Executive Director) "My name is DeShaun Rice, and it is a pleasure to welcome you to the Proof Legacy Foundation's web page. I'm a photographer and videographer with over a decade of experience collaborating with various non-profit organizations in the vibrant city of Detroit. In 2010, I proudly earned my bachelor's degree from the International Academy of Design & Technology, which marked the beginning of my journey into the captivating world of visual storytelling. At the Proof Legacy Foundation, our mission is deeply rooted in the remarkable legacies of my father and grandmother. We are dedicated to supporting the youth of our inner city and working tirelessly to create a brighter future for the generations to come. Together, we strive to make Detroit an even better place for our community. Thank you for joining us on this inspiring journey." - Sharallene “Pepper” Holton (Founder) After the death of her only child, DeShaun “Proof” Holton in 2006, Mrs. Holton-White went on to establish The Proof Foundation. The foundation was established to support music programs in Detroit Public Schools and also hosted annual candlelight vigils on the anniversary of Proof’s death.
