Last night in Atlanta, the 4th annual Sno Ball Gala, hosted by Jeezy, once again brought together culture, elegance, and philanthropy under one roof. This exclusive, invite-only event showcased not only some of the entertainment world’s biggest names but also the power of giving back to the community.

With a roster of attendees like Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Mike Epps, T.I., and DJ Cassidy, the night proved to be more than just glitz and glamour—it was about uplifting underserved youth through Jeezy’s Street Dreamz Foundation.

Held at a private venue, the gala marked a special occasion for Jeezy as he made his first red carpet-appearance alongside his eldest daughter, Amra. Their debut as a duo added a personal touch to an already star-studded night, highlighting his role as a rapper and philanthropist and as a father.

Guests at the Sno Ball Gala were treated to an array of luxurious experiences, from gourmet dining to a live auction where exclusive items were up for grabs. But it wasn’t just about indulgence. Every penny raised from the auction went straight to Street Dreamz Foundation, an organization founded by Jeezy in 2001.

The foundation is dedicated to empowering at-risk youth through programs focused on education, entrepreneurship, and community development. The night’s proceeds will go toward expanding these critical initiatives, ensuring more young people have access to the tools they need to succeed.

One of the highlights of the evening was comedian Mike Epps, who entertained the crowd as the night’s master of ceremonies. Known for his sharp wit and humor, Epps had the audience laughing from start to finish, adding a lighthearted vibe to the sophisticated setting.

DJ Cassidy also kept the energy high, delivering a mix of crowd-pleasing hits that had guests dancing well into the early hours. The mix of entertainment and purpose was seamless, showing how philanthropy can be impactful and enjoyable.

But beyond the laughter and dancing, the real success of the evening came down to the funds raised for the Street Dreamz Foundation. Jeezy, reflecting on the significance of the event, stated, "The Sno Ball Gala is about more than just a great night—it’s about creating real change. I’m grateful to everyone who came out, contributed, and helped make this event impactful. Together, we’re giving our youth the tools to succeed and thrive."

As the 2024 Sno Ball Gala wrapped, one thing was clear: Jeezy's impact reaches far beyond the music industry. His commitment to uplifting the next generation of leaders solidifies his legacy as not just a Rap icon, but a dedicated philanthropist who is making real, lasting change in his community.

Since its inception, the Street Dreamz Foundation has been a beacon of hope for underserved youth. Founded in 2001 by Grammy-nominated artist Jeezy, the 501(c)(3) non-profit has focused on empowering young people to realize their full potential through education and entrepreneurship.

Jeezy’s vision has always been to provide a path forward for at-risk youth, and with events like the Sno Ball Gala, his mission continues to grow, inspiring others to join the cause.

This year’s gala may have ended, but the impact of the funds raised will reverberate through the community for years to come, proving that Jeezy is as devoted to creating positive change as he is to his music.
