Michael Velez is the Growth and Development Director at Northwestern Mutual. He is stepping up to raise money for the Golden Bell Education Foundation, which supports Boca Raton's public schools through teacher grants, classroom resources, literacy initiatives, and innovative student programs. Every dollar raised helps create brighter futures for local students and educators.

To make it fun, exciting, and a little outside his comfort zone, Michael is taking the stage at Season 8 LVLUP Golden Bell Battle of the Bands on Saturday, September 26th at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus. This one-of-a-kind fundraising event brings together local business and community leaders who trade their day jobs for the spotlight, all in support of education.

Michael, why are you participating in Golden Bell Battle of the Bands?

I want to support my local community. I've been a Boca Raton resident for 25 years and love the idea of giving back to a foundation that gives back to our future, our children.
