Houston was buzzing with festive cheer as Travis Scott hosted his highly anticipated 5th Annual Winter Wonderland holiday drive on Saturday, December 21. The rapper, known for his chart-topping hits and larger-than-life energy, turned his hometown into a beacon of generosity and joy through his Cactus Jack Foundation.
Teaming up with Texas Southern University and the Houston Food Bank, Scott ensured that 1,000 local residents received an extra dose of holiday magic. The event delivered over 2,000 toys and bikes, hot meals to warm hearts, and an exclusive treat, 200 pairs of Scott’s sought-after Nike Cactus Jack collaboration sneakers. Families gathered to celebrate the season, while kids revelled in an inflatable theme park that brought smiles to their faces.
Beyond spreading holiday cheer, Scott continues to invest deeply in his beloved community and alma mater. As part of his Waymon Webster Scholarship Program, the artist awarded over $1 million in scholarships to more than 100 graduating seniors, paying homage to his family’s HBCU legacy. This life-changing initiative not only underscores his commitment to education but also paves the way for future leaders to rise.
The Winter Wonderland event drew an array of special guests, including Scott’s family, Texas Southern University Chairman Brandon L. Simmons, and Houston Controller Chris Hollins. Fans were delighted by surprise appearances from musical sensation Don Toliver and up-and-coming artist Serena Page, adding a touch of star power to an already unforgettable day.
Scott is also gearing up for another major event. The third annual Cactus Jack Foundation HBCU Celebrity Softball Classic is set to take place on February 13, 2025, at Daikin Park, home of the Houston Astros. This year’s line-up boasts heavy hitters like Metro Boomin and comedic legend Dave Chappelle, promising a night of epic entertainment. Proceeds will support Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation and Project H.E.A.L., further solidifying his dedication to community upliftment.
