Hottie girls give back!
To markMegan Thee Stallion’s 27th birthday on Tuesday, the rapper is announcing the launch of thePete and Thomas Foundation— and she’s giving back in a special way.
The foundation is a non-profit organization which generates awareness around campaigns and programmatic activities — while focusing primarily on education, housing and health and wellness, according to a press release.
Meanwhile, she is also surprising a senior citizen, a student and a cancer survivor with financial assistance on her birthday.
The foundation is named after her parents, Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete Jr., to honor the values they instilled in her.
“Launching the Pete and Thomas Foundation is easily one of the most significant endeavors that I’ll ever be part of in my career,” the “Captain Hook” rapper said in a press release. “My family raised me to help others and give back, so I’m incredibly proud to be in a position to accomplish that goal. I have a responsibility to use my platform to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who may not have access to resources and support services.”
Under the health and wellness sector, the foundation will support areas of cancer care, mental health and food insecurity.
