There, Scott’s family — including his sister Jordan, his brother Joshua, his grandmother Miss Sealie and his parents Wanda and Jacques — and his team distributed thousands of toys to 1,000 families and children.
“I’m grateful to host the third annual Winter Wonderland and Toy Drive with my family in my hometown of Houston,” Scott said in a statement. “The holiday season was my favorite as a child, and I know some families are having a tough time in our community this year.”
“We wanted to do our part to ensure we still spread the Christmas joy to area children,” he continued. “Sometimes even Santa needs a helping hand to deliver.”

In addition to the foundation, he has hisProject H.E.A.L., which was launched after 10 of his fans died in a crowd surge at hisAstroworld Festivalin 2021.
In conjunction with the Cactus Jack Foundation, Project H.E.A.L. unites initiatives ranging from academic scholarships, free mental health resources, a creative design center and solutions for event safety. These efforts, independently and collectively, aim to solve challenges impacting today’s youth.
In May, it was announced that Project H.E.A.L. and the Cactus Jack Foundation had awarded $1 million in scholarships to students from 38 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). The sum was divided and distributed to 100 students.
