FUNKY MATAS: MEET THE TATTOOED MILLENNIAL AVANTE-GARDE DISRUPTOR THAT ISREDEFINING THE ART OF PHILANTHROPY
The F8 Club Founder, Guinness World Record Holder and Former Time Person of the Year Charitable Efforts are Crowdsourced Collaborations
Jorge “Funky” Matas may be best known to the general public as the Guiness World Record Holder for “Most Signatures Tattooed On One’s Back,” most recently adding Floyd Mayweather to his collection of close to 250 celebrity autographs, but to his community of loyal fans, he’s the Concierge of Charitable Acts. After surviving a near-fatal motorcycle accident, Funky dedicated his life to happiness and giving back to other people, which has fueled a movement of followers committed to the same goal.
Funky has leveraged his influence to redefine the millennial philanthropist, engaging with his more than 2.4 million social media followers to determine where - and how - his next avant garde charitable act goes down. In June, Funky and his team will head to Gambia, where they will help build a school with profits from their NFT project.
With a deep desire to not just write a check - but put boots on the ground and create a memorable, holistic experience that makes a meaningful impact in the communities he visits. His most recognizable endeavors include his Gambia activation, his mall money giveaway and recently surprising the Salvation Army with 21 thousand bottles of water.
He connects with his most loyal fans through his NFT project, The F8 Club. The invites to join the club in the initial ‘Wave Zero’ offering sold out almost immediately. The community-driven, exclusive club crowdsources philanthropic projects for Funky’s next adventure. The F8 Club plans to strategically expand membership as demand continues to grow. Many celebrities have joined the F8 Club excitement such as Ryan Tedder, Snoop Dogg, Brandon Novak, Lil Baby, Brett Phillips and more.
For more information on Funky Matas, please visit www.FunkyMatas.com. Fans can follow along on Funky’s adventures on Instagram via his personal @FunkyMatas and The F8 Club @TheF8Club channels.
