Cash Money Records CEO’s Ronald ‘Slim’ Williams
and Brian ‘Baby’ Williams will officially inaugurate their “Cash Money
for Kids” program during halftime at tonight’s (Feb. 5) New Orleans Hornets’
sold-out game against the Sacramento Kings.
Cash Money For Kids will purchase and donate
100 tickets for underprivileged youths in New Orleans for all upcoming Hornets
home games.
"Baby and I wanted to reward kids who are
doing well in school, this is one way," Slim told AllHipHop.com in a statement.
The brothers will be joined by New Orleans’
mayor, The Honorable C. Ray Nagin and New Orleans Hornets owner Ray Wooldridge
“Cash Money Records is setting a great example
with this act of generosity,” Hornets co-owner Ray Wooldridge said. “Ronald
and Bryan have not forgotten their roots and are committed to helping others
in the New Orleans area. These tickets are just one more way that they continue
to give back to their community.”
The brothers have also launched the Johnny &
Gladys Williams Foundation, named in memory of their deceased parents. The foundation
donates food, offers scholarships throughout the year and every Thanksgiving
for the past 4 four years, the successful hip-hop label has hosted a free turkey
giveaway.
Tickets purchased by Cash Money will be distributed
by the Hornets community relations department, and will be issued to various
charitable organizations and underprivileged children in the New Orleans area.
