Trick Daddy may be a thug, but everyone knows he "loves the kids!" And with his love for the youth of America, the rapper and his Trick Luvs Da Kids Foundation has delevoped a partnership with the Single Parent Initiative and the National Boys & Girls Club of America to give as much support as possible to the next generation of kids coming up.
With the new partnership, Trick Daddy plans to offer long term support to families that have been misplaced in wake of the Katrina disaster, and has been made an honorary board member of the SBoys & Girls Club of America.
"We at the Boys & Girls Club of America truly feel Trick Daddy cares about the kids in his community and have officially made him an honorary board member," said Curtis B., Executive Director for the Single Parent Initiative. "Trick Daddy is going to help our efforts as we continue rebuilding the centers and stability for these families affected by Hurricane Katrina in this critical time. The victims of this national disaster are going to need help for the next 2-5 years."
Trick Luvs Da Kids Foundation, Inc. will host this year's Halloween Spooktacular Costume Party in Miami, Florida on October 29, 2005. Taking place at Solo at 10890 Collins Avenue Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, the adult fundraising event will provide giveaways including prizes for Best Dressed Female Costume, Best Dressed Male Costume and Best Dressed Couple Costume.
General admission is $25 and a donation of $100 will include food and drinks all night. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Single Parent Initiative and the Boys & Girls Clubs in both Mississippi and New Orleans.
"Florida was just hit by Katrina ourselves and we were just getting over it when I started hearing about what was going on in the coastal areas," explains Trick Daddy. "What triggered me to help was the amount of people that are missing and the fact that no one was thinking about helping the kids -- Trick really does Luv Da Kids!"
