Huncho Day Soars to New Heights: A Remarkable Official Launch for The Rocket Foundation

 Amazing Official Launch for The Rocket Foundation

The fifth annual Huncho Day charity game, hosted by Quavo in partnership with Legends, took place at Berkmar High School in Lilburn, Georgia this past Saturday. The event attracted a star-studded lineup, with notable appearances by rapper J.I.D and NFL stars such as Jalen Ramsey, D’Andre Swift, Kyle Pitts, Aman-Ra St. Brown, Kenny Moore, and Diontae Johnson, among others. The highly anticipated occasion managed to raise an impressive $2 million for The Rocket Foundation, a charitable organization established to honor the late rapper Takeoff.

Reflecting on the event, Quavo expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "I eagerly anticipate Huncho Day each year as it brings together close friends and allows me to return to the place where it all began for me." In a heartfelt statement, he added, "This year held special significance as we launched The Rocket Foundation in memory of Takeoff. It was a day filled with football, community fundraising, and cherished memories of Take."

Quavo emerged victorious with Team Huncho during the exhilarating football game against Team Ramsey, ultimately securing the win. He was rightfully recognized as the Most Valuable Player for his outstanding performance. Serving as the event's host, Ronnie2k added to the excitement and energy throughout the day. In a symbolic gesture, Quavo presented The Rocket Foundation with a substantial $2 million check, representing the collective contributions made during the event.

The Rocket Foundation, established in 2022 following Takeoff's passing, operates with the mission to honor the life and legacy of Kirsnick Khari Ball, better known as "Takeoff." The organization's website states, "The Rocket Foundation is dedicated to supporting programs that save lives through community-based solutions proven to prevent gun violence." The funds raised during the event will be distributed among three deserving groups: the Community Justice Action Fund, H.O.P.E. HUSTLERS, LIVE FREE, and the Offenders Alumni Association.

The extraordinary success of Huncho Day has catapulted The Rocket Foundation to new heights, ensuring that Takeoff's memory lives on through the support of crucial programs combating gun violence. This remarkable launch serves as a testament to Quavo's dedication to philanthropy and his commitment to giving back to the community that shaped him.

Quavo's mum, Takeoff's mum who is also Quavo's older sister together with Takeoff's younger brother Lingo and little sister Heaven attended this ground breaking event. Takeoff's close friends also graced this event that was in memory of one of the best rappers and individual in the music industry.
