Cash Money Records

On the eve of NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND in NEW ORLEANS, CASH MONEY RECORDS will host a FOOD PACKING PARTY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16th at NEW HOME FULL GOSPEL MINISTRIES, 4p-7p (ET).  

The non-profit JOHNNY AND GLADYS WILLIAMS FOUNDATION -- created by CASH MONEY RECORDS Co-Founders, brothers RONALD "SLIM" WILLIAMS and BRYAN "BIRDMAN" WILLIAMS  -- have partnered with prestigious NEW YORK financial, banking, securities, and investment leader GOLDMAN SACHS to host this event and give back to the community and surrounding areas.

Approximately 200 volunteers from ST. AUGUSTINE HIGH SCHOOL, GOOD WILL of NEW ORLEANS, COHEN COLLEGE PREPARATORY HIGH SCHOOL, NEW ORLEANS RECREATION DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION, URBAN LEAGUE OF LOUISIANA, KAPPA ALPHA PSI FOUNDATION and the NEW ORLEANS SCHOOL BOARD will join SLIM, BIRDMAN, roster artists and surprise celebrity guests to pack a bounty of food provided by THE PACK SHACK. THE FOOD PACKED will be enough to feed 50,000 less fortunate families and those affected by the recent tornado throughout NEW ORLEANS EAST, and will be distributed by local food banks.

Commented SLIM: “It’s our 20-year anniversary as a major label distributed through REPUBLIC RECORDS/UMG and we wanted to celebrate this milestone by giving back as much as we can during 2017. We’ve done the TURKEY GIVEAWAY for the past 20 years, but we felt like we could do more. ALL-STAR WEEKEND provided a wonderful opportunity to invite some friends down and do some good. We’re very thankful to GOLDMAN SACHS for joining us." 

Before the FOOD PACKING PARTY, SLIM and BIRDMAN will guest speak at COHEN COLLEGE PREPARATORY HIGH SCHOOL. During this time, the two will share inspirational stories about their journey from the heart of the city to the top of the entertainment business for an audience of 450-plus students.

Added BIRDMAN: “All the glory goes to GOD. We’ve been blessed to be in this game 20 years. We want to empower and uplift the next generation and the generations to follow. This event is just the beginning.”
