The 4th Annual Sno Ball Gala was not just another gala—it was a testament to the power of community, collaboration, and commitment to social change. The invite-only event was held in support of GRAMMY nominated, multi-platinum recording artist Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins Street Dreamz Foundation. Jeezy has shown through his community outreach time and time again that he is deeply committed to empowering underserved youth.

Jeezy made his first red carpet appearance alongside his oldest daughter, Amra. This marking their debut together at the event and adding a special, personal touch to the evening’s celebrations.

The event brought out a remarkable group of celebrities, influential leaders including Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, comedian Mike Epps, rapper T.I., reality tv star Bambi, and many more —all to raise funds for a cause close to Jeezy’s heart. “The Sno Ball Gala is about more than just a great night—it’s about creating real change,” Jeezy said. “I’m grateful to everyone who came out, contributed, and helped make this event impactful. Together, we’re giving our youth the tools to succeed and thrive.”

The gala, which took place in a chic venue in Buckhead Atlanta, was filled with glittering lights and a palpable sense of camaraderie. The bids were sky rocketing featuring both the silent and live auctions. The auctions provided attendees the chance to bid on exclusive items and experiences. Among the most coveted items was a round of golf with Jeezy and DJ Khaled who are both hands down the most iconic figures in the entertainment industry. 

While the auctions provided a fun and engaging way to contribute, the true focus of the event remained clear: the mission of the Street Dreamz Foundation. Founded by Jeezy in 2001, the nonprofit organization has long been dedicated to helping at-risk youth realize their full potential through education, entrepreneurship, and community development programs. The foundation provides the resources, mentorship, and encouragement needed to set young people on a path to success.

In a moving speech during the event, Jeezy passionately appealed to his guests, calling upon them to support his efforts to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people. “And that’s why I’m here. I came in this room to ask the most successful people I know to help me help my people,” Jeezy shared. “I need my tribe and my people and all you genesis in the room to help me help my people.” His words resonated deeply with everyone in the room, inspiring both reflection and action!

The night concluded with a sense of fulfillment, laughter and great vibes while DJ Cassidy kept the energy high with a mix of crowd-pleasing hits. For Jeezy and the Street Dreamz Foundation, the work continues, and with the support of people like those who attended the Gala, the impact will undoubtedly be far-reaching. In Jeezy’s words, “Together, we’re giving our youth the tools to succeed and thrive.” And thanks to events like the Sno Ball Gala, that future looks brighter than ever.
