On October 21, 2024, rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) hosted an extravagant charity gala in Houston, raising over $500,000 to support programs aimed at improving the lives of underprivileged children. The funds will be directed toward educational and health initiatives, as well as youth empowerment projects across the city. Organized by his G-Unity Foundation, the event drew high-profile guests from the entertainment and business worlds, who contributed through donations, auctions, and pledges.
The gala is part of 50 Cent’s continued philanthropic efforts, particularly in Houston, where he has increasingly focused his charitable work since relocating to the city. His G-Unity Foundation has been instrumental in supporting educational programs, such as college scholarships and entrepreneurship opportunities for disadvantaged youth. The event also underscores his dedication to using his platform for social good, giving back to communities that need it most.
Notable auction items, including memorabilia from 50 Cent’s career and luxury experiences, helped drive the fundraising total. The star-studded event featured performances and speeches that highlighted the importance of empowering young people to break the cycle of poverty through education and opportunity.
