LynneX Ventures (LXV), a dynamic force in global arts, culture, entertainment, wellness, and community development, is making significant strides in promoting sustainable initiatives across continents.
Under the visionary leadership of its Founder and CEO, Miss Cynthia Raymond, the organization has combined entertainment and advocacy to effect real change—particularly for children in underserved communities.
In a remarkable fusion of music and mission, LXV has partnered with celebrated Jamaican reggae artiste Hezron Clarke also known by his African name as Kwame Bonsu, embarking on a series of impactful projects and international tours aimed at cultural exchange, unity, and humanitarian support.
A Reggae Journey to Africa.
In 2023, LynneX Ventures proudly facilitated Hezron Clarke’s inaugural visit to Africa, specifically Ghana, marking a poignant return to his ancestral roots. The fully financed tour by Cynthia Raymond was not just a musical milestone, it was a powerful reconnection to heritage.
During the tour, Hezron met with some of the most respected and revered figures in Ghana, including His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the King of the Ashanti Kingdom, and Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, Ghana’s National Chief Imam. These historic encounters symbolized the bridging of cultures and the shared values of peace, unity, and heritage.
West Africa Tour: “Man on a Mission”
In 2024, LXV expanded its vision, sponsoring Hezron Clarke’s largest African music tour yet, dubbed the “Man on a Mission West African Tour.” The journey took the reggae icon through Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, and Côte d’Ivoire, drawing diverse audiences and promoting African unity through music.
But the tour was more than a concert series it was a platform for outreach. Cynthia Raymond and Hezron visited an orphanage in Cape Coast, in Ghana’s Central Region, where they donated essential food items, beverages, and funds to support the children. This heartfelt act marked the genesis of Cynthia Raymond’s passion project: The “Save the Children” Campaign.
Award recognition: Presidential Lifetime Achievement awards.
Miss Cynthia Raymond was awarded the prestigious Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award by the White House, recognizing her exceptional commitment and over 500 hours of impactful volunteer service.
Presented under the auspices of AmeriCorps and the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, the award honors individuals whose dedication to community service fosters both national and international goodwill.
In October 2024, during the 3G Media Awards Night in Bronx, New York, by certifying agency Mac/Ban Arts. Miss Raymond received a signed formal congratulatory letter and an honorary pin from President Joseph R. Biden, symbolizing her outstanding contributions.
Miss Raymond was recognized for her unwavering self-dedication, tireless work ethic, and deep compassion for children. Her service has touched countless lives and continues to inspire meaningful change in communities both locally and globally.
The Birth of a Global Campaign: “Save the Children”
Inspired by Hezron’s deeply moving song “Save the Children,” the campaign seeks to secure a brighter future for vulnerable children worldwide. The song’s message resonated so profoundly with Cynthia that she adopted its title and spirit to lead her global philanthropic drive.
“The aim is to give every child regardless of circumstance a chance at life, joy, and opportunity,” said Cynthia. “We’re using music not just to entertain but to educate and uplift.”
Canada Tour: Music Meets Mission.
In 2025, LXV continued its unwavering support, backing Hezron’s ongoing journey—this time to North America for the “Man on a Mission Canada Tour.” The highlight came during the Vancouver Reggae Soundsplash, where Cynthia Raymond personally attended.
At the event, Hezron’s emotional performance of “Save the Children” brought tears to many including Cynthia, when he was joined on stage by children, including a young girl with a disability. The powerful moment, captured in the smiles of the children and the love shared by the audience, became a defining image of the campaign.
A Call to Action: Join the Mission.
Motivated by the joy on the little girl’s face, Cynthia made a heartfelt vow:
“I’m going to make sure every child is as happy as this little girl,” she whispered to herself through tears.
Today, LynneX Ventures is calling on individuals, institutions, corporate bodies, nonprofits, and philanthropists across the world to join the “Save the Children” campaign.
The initiative aims to reach more children with food, education, health care, and emotional support—empowering them with the hope and happiness they deserve.
“Our mission is to elevate individuals and communities to achieve their full potential, ensuring each voice is heard and talents recognized on a global stage. Through LXV, we commit to bridging gaps, nurturing environments, promoting a healthier and a more inclusive world.”
