Rap star Fat Joe will be honored at the 1st Annual Dinner and Awards
Gala of In Arms Reach Inc., Thursday, November 29, for supporting youth.
The Terror Squad chief supported youth developmental projects for
incarcerated parents for the non-profit organization.
The gala will also
honor New York Giants linebacker Carl Banks, former New York Supreme
Court judge Jerome W. Marks, and others. The night’s performer will be
Trey Songz.
In Arms Reach focuses on counseling, prison visitation services, and
academic mentoring for children in urban areas whose are former or
current prisoners.
"My community has been the foundation of everything I've ever
accomplished in music and my business ventures," Fat Joe said in a
statement.
"It's the role of hip-hop to give voice to the most
overlooked, and it's the role of every responsible person to look into
the community and be a positive force to as many as we possibly can. I'm
proud to help bring awareness to this segment of youth, at a time when
so many of our families in the minority community remain separated by
the system."
