Houston, TX – Wanting to end a successful career year by giving back to the needy in his beloved community, Trae Tha Truth, spent his weekend playing Santa to many of his city’s needier constituents. His first stop was an appearance at Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s 15 Annual Christmas Party, where he handed out toys, signed autographs and took pictures with the thousands of kids in attendance.
Trae ended that afternoon on a high note by buying out the ice-cream truck that was parked outside so that all departing children received a treat as they left.
Trae’s next stop was the Community of Faith Church in North Houston, where he was joined by SDS members, JDawg, Mugg and Clarence. The guys helped church leader, Pastor Dixon, distribute lots of Christmas cheer in the form of toys and 5,000 pairs of shoes to those in need.
Trae ended his day with the Tiara Foundation which benefits children who are terminally ill, confined to wheelchairs or have parents afflicted with AIDS. Reindeer being somewhat thin on the ground in Houston, this Santa arrived ABN-style; on candy paint, just as you’d expect a loc-wearing Santa to do. There Trae helped Founder, Olivia West, make a lot of very brave kids’ last wishes come true.
…and they heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight, Merry Christmas Houston and may your 2010 be bright!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Okay, YOU try to think of a better rhyme!!)
I’m not the biggest fan of anything thisis50 does, but I’ve been looking for a reason to post this picture since I got it yesterday. Big respect to Trae The Truth, he doesn’t just talk about giving back he does give back to where he came from. I’ve personally seen him in Third Ward at community events speaking to children, and this year he joined up with Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for a Toys For Tots Event. After the jump the video.
He talks about the difference in rappers in Houston, his brother; who motivated him in his career, the community service he does, how he spread his music to the world, his close friend passing away & much much more!
