Trae Prepares For Third Annual July 'Trae Day' In Houston
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 06/23/2010

TraeJuly 22nd marks the third anniversary of "Trae Day" in Houston, an honor bestowed upon rapper Trae Tha Truth by the City Hall for his never-ending support and charitable works within the city's less fortunate communities.

This year's celebration will be held at the former International Ballroom, and is expected to be Trae's biggest event yet.

The roster of performers include Lupe Fiasco, Yo Gotti, Wacka Flocka, Sean Garret, Young Buck and members of Young Money, as well as Trae himself, brother Jay'Ton and Big Pokey. Hosts for the event include DJ Khaled, Sirius' Angela Yee, former Party 93.3 jock Crisco Kidd and comedian Lil Duval.

Once again, the entire event is free to the public.

Trae and his non-profit, Angels By Nature/A Better Neighborhood, will also be sponsoring a host of family entertainment at Trae Day, wuch as train rides, pony rides and face painting, as well as free school supplies and uniform items. Booths will also be set up for free HIV testing, immunizations and blood and glucose level screenings.

With last year's event being marred by an act of senseless violence, in which several people were injured, this year the entire event will be dedicated to a rally aimed to "Stop Teen Violence", a growing problem in our nation, in the hopes that Houston's young people can be encouraged to find alternative outlets to express their anger and frustration, by the people they most admire.

Donations for Trae Day's school uniform and supplies giveaway are being accepted at both Houston locations of SF2 (North side location - 215 West Greens Road, Houston 77067) and (South side location - 7204 Southwest Fwy, Houston, 77074.)

They will be accepting donations of school uniform items and school supplies such as backpacks, notebooks, binders, crayons, pencils, math supplies etc. and the drop-off locations will be active until July 20th.
