Comments Off on Travis Scott’s “Project Heal” Raises Millions To Aid His Texas Community Amidst Robb Elementary Shooting Crisis
Travis Scott is determined to turn the pain caused into a blessing and heal the world. His raffle of custom Nike AirMax shoes on Tuesday raised millions of dollars in under 30 minutes.
Travis announced he is donating the money gained from his new Air Max & Cactus Jack collaboration to Project HEAL. The rap philanthropist said he originally made the shoes for his family and friends but would instead make them available as a fundraiser for his charity. Project HEAL was established to address challenges facing youth from marginalized and at-risk communities of color such as Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old gunman murdered 21 people, 19 of whom were children, at The Robb Elementary School. The school, located just under 300 miles from Scott’s Houston hometown, was almost 90 percent Latino and low income.
HEAL also vows to” address the country’s skyrocketing mental health crisis – and focus much-needed resources to support services for young people, especially in lower-income communities of color, many of whom have few available, accessible, affordable mental health options.”
