Miami rapper Trick
Daddy and his non-profit Trick Luvs Da Kids Foundation has partnered with the
Florida Marlins and radio station 103.5 The Beat for a day of free activities
for local high school students. The
rapper will host the 3rd Annual Trick Luvs Da Kids Back to School Family Fun Fest
at Virrick Park Saturday (July 29), providing a day of free activities, food and
music. Additionally, students will receive a backpack filled with school supplies
to help them through the upcoming school year. “We
want to encourage students to do their best in school," Trick Daddy told
AllHipHop.com in a statement. "South Florida schools are among the lowest
schools in the state with low FCAT [Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test scores.]
We want students to be excited about learning.”Through
the efforts of Trick Daddy and many others, FCAT scores in reading and math have
steadily risen in 2006, according to numbers released by the Miami-Dade County
Public School system. "I
enjoy giving back to the children," Trick Daddy continued. "These kids
will one day be our leaders."The
Trick Luvs Da Kids Back to School Family Fun Fest takes place at 3255 Plaza Street
in Coconut Grove. For more log on: www.trickdaddydollars.com.
