21 Savage's annual back-to-school giveaway
Atlanta rapper 21 Savage's annual back-to-school giveaway on Sunday was the biggest yet, according to organizers.
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Atlanta rapper 21 Savage and his Leading by Example Foundation gave back to the community on Sunday by hosting the 9th annual "Issa Back to School Drive" at South DeKalb Mall — the largest event in the program’s history.
What we know:
This year’s event featured backpacks filled with school supplies, new shoes, and free haircuts and braiding for students preparing to return to class. The event also included family-friendly activities such as bounce houses, games, and a variety of food and drinks for attendees.
21 Savage's manager Justin Williams told FOX 5 Atlanta that they just wanted to take some of the load off the parents of the students so that they were not worried about having to spend money on school supplies while trying to pay other bills.
The back-to-school event came just hours before DeKalb County students are set to return to the classroom, providing a boost of support and excitement for the new school year.
