A house RESOLUTION

to recognize and honor 7Sunday and to 
express deep appreciation for the ongoing, generous, and effectual work of the 
organization.

Whereas, 7Sunday was founded on January 13, 2019, following the service 
and subsequent trauma of a veteran which led to PTSD and grief counseling, 
integrating a therapeutic approach using live music entertainment; and

Whereas, over the past six years, 7Sunday has highlighted and 
showcased over two hundred artists, bands, comedians, hosts, poets, and 
musicians nationwide, ranging from Grammy-winning artists to local talent. 
Productions by 7Sunday provide artists with an audience of two and a half to 
three hundred attendees, offer marketing and promotional materials, conduct 
interviews, and assist with high-quality promotional efforts for performances 
at larger venues. Artists are featured on local TV shows across five different 
markets and on social media, reaching over thirty-one thousand followers on 
platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, in order to connect 
creatives with local community leaders, business owners, and entrepreneurs; and

Whereas, in 2024, 7Sunday Live Band component made history as the 
first-ever band to perform at the 77th International Bronner Brothers Hair and 
Fashion Show in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as at events hosted by the South 
Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs and by Able South Carolina for the 
past two years. Live entertainment was provided for the South Carolina 
Association for Community Economic Development's 30th Anniversary at the 
Charleston Gaillard Center and for the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus 
Annual Retreat for three consecutive years; and

Whereas, through the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus, 7Sunday 
has partnered with the Minority Film Institute on Giants for Justice, a documentary 
to highlight representatives and senators who tirelessly fight for equality. Joining 
forces with the City of Columbia for the Juneteenth Entrepreneur Film & TV 
Extravaganza, 7Sunday organized the event and featured talents, such as Keith 
Robinson of Dreamgirls, the legendary Kenny Lattimore, Grammy-winner Susan 
Carol, and the award-winning SCETV producers of The Cool and the Strong; 
and

Whereas, with the Office of Business Opportunities, 7Sunday produced 
and premiered a film narrated by University of South Carolina's Dr. Bobby 
Donaldson of Columbia SC 63 entitled Did You Know? Columbia's Black Wall 
Street, highlighting the historic Black business district, a project intended 
to be continued; and

Whereas, 7Sunday pays it forward by supporting Dapper & 
Distinguished Gentlemen, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering young 
men through mentoring, teaching life skills, financial literacy, and etiquette. 
The goal of this initiative is to strengthen young men to become individuals of 
character, legacy, and vision. This initiative has served over five hundred 
young men in Florence and Richland counties, as well as the Charlotte, North 
Carolina county of Mecklenburg, awarding over ten thousand dollars in 
scholarships; and

Whereas, over the past six years, 7Sunday has honored more than twenty 
community champions who tirelessly serve in entertainment, entrepreneurship, 
social initiatives, and other fields, all striving to make the world a better 
place; and

Whereas, under the leadership of founder and CEO Deon Generette and 
through collaboration with other small business creative entrepreneurs, 7Sunday 
has become an initiative for the creative arts and a collaborative effort born 
of creative partnerships. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South 
Carolina House of Representatives, by this 
resolution, recognize and honor 7Sunday and express deep appreciation for the 
ongoing, generous, and effectual work of the organization.

Be it further resolved that a copy 
of this resolution be presented to Deon Generette.
