Jeezy’s Street Dreamz Foundation and LISC to host Community Day event in Atlanta

On Saturday, July 26,, Jeezy, through his Street Dreamz Foundation, will team up with the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to host a Community Day at Impact Church in East Point, GA. This free event runs from 12 PM to 4 PM, marking the 20th anniversary of Jeezy’s debut album Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101. With wellness resources, school supplies, food distribution, and more, this is more than an event—it’s a movement.

An Event Aligned with Community Needs

This event is all about real-world impact. It’s free, open to everyone, and packed with resources that matter:

  • Back-to-school essentials for 500+ children
  • 25,000 lbs of fresh groceries
  • Health screenings: diabetes, blood pressure, prostate health
  • Mental wellness support
  • Career exposure stations
  • Hands-on learning for kids and teens
  • Entertainment, community fun, and connection

A virtual passport system ensures that attendees engage fully—guests receive stamps at each station. This makes the experience richer, more interactive, and ensures families use the full range of resources.

Celebrating Two Decades of “Thug Motivation”

When Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 debuted in 2005, it soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Rap and R&B charts, and went double platinum. The album became a cultural milestone. It spoke to ambition, hope, and transformation—hallmarks of Jeezy’s personal journey.

Now, twenty years later, Jeezy channels that same energy into community empowerment, demonstrating how music and action go hand in hand.

Why This Partnership Matters: Street Dreamz & LISC

From Charity to Power Building

This isn’t a one-off charity event. It’s a strategic collaboration between:

  • Street Dreamz Foundation – grassroots impact
  • LISC – national infrastructure and investment

Together, they form a 360° strategy focused on health, youth development, economic opportunity, and community safety.

LISC brings proven tools, operating for over 40 years in underserved communities. Their national reach amplifies Street Dreamz’s local credibility and impact.

Aligning Around Wellness & Youth

The roots of the partnership began with shared support for ZERO – The End of Prostate Cancer. That bond has since expanded to address wellness, mental health, education, and so much more.

This event falls in line with their holistic mission:

  1. Physical health – screenings and medical resources
  2. Nutritional security – providing vital food supplies
  3. Educational readiness – school supplies and learning tools
  4. Career readiness – exposure to professionals, college info, trades
  5. Mental health & wellness – emotional support services

The Virtual Passport Experience

A signature feature this year is the virtual passport system:

  1. Attendees receive a digital (or printed) passport upon arrival
  2. Each station has a QR code or stamp point
  3. Families who complete all stations get access to bonus giveaways and prizes
  4. This gamified approach encourages full engagement and makes the event fun for everyone

This passport system elevates the event. It ensures resources are used, keeps people moving, and adds a playful, mission-driven layer.

Looking Ahead: A Year of Activations

Community Day kicks off a year-long series of activations. Here’s what’s next:

  • Pop-up events in barbershops, sports fields, classrooms
  • Engagement in the metro Atlanta area, plus Detroit, Cincinnati, and more
  • Support for youth, local small businesses, and grassroots nonprofits
  • Installments focusing on entrepreneurship, wellness, arts, and education

This isn’t just a celebration. It’s a movement with sustained impact—building connected, healthy, economically vibrant communities.

Why It Matters Now

  • Back-to-School Stress: Many families struggle to afford supplies and basic needs. Over 500 kids will receive backpacks filled with tools to succeed.
  • Health Equity: Access to screenings can be limited. Offering 15 diabetic screenings, blood pressure checks, and prostate screenings addresses real, lingering health disparities.
  • Food Security: With food costs still rising, receiving fresh, healthy groceries is more than just help—it’s dignity.
  • Mental Wellness: Emotional health services normalize seeking help. This de-stigmatizes mental health and supports resilience.
  • Youth Empowerment: Hands-on experiences can shape career paths, inspire hope, and plant seeds of aspiration.

Community Voices

  • Jeezy has emphasized this isn’t charity, but “power building”—helping neighborhoods access opportunity, capital, and a bright future.
  • LISC brings decades-long experience navigating community systems—from housing to education, health, safety, and beyond.
  • Parents visiting Community Day will learn real tips: visit all stations, use the passport, follow-up with health screenings afterward.
  • Insights on designing gamified, community events (like the passport system) can be adapted by other organizers.
  • The strategic model behind Street Dreamz + LISC partnerships shows how local organizations can scale using national infrastructure while staying authentic.
