Ludacris worked with Mercedes-Benz to give out more than 1,200 new pairs of shoes.The shoe giveaway event, took place on December 7th at the two Atlanta schools, Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy and Leonora P. Miles Intermediate Elementary School. This amazing charity event was organized by Award-winning rapper, actor, producer, and philanthropist Chris “Ludacris” Bridges in partnership with Mercedes-Benz. According to officials, the Grammy award-winning rapper is a brand ambassador of Mercedes-Benz. The shoes were a gift from Ludacris to show his appreciation for educators and students working hard during this difficult year.
Ludacris not only provided each student with a new pair of shoes but also gave out special gifts to the teachers and staff members in attendance. He even ensured that children who not have gotten a new pair of shoes for Christmas got a brand-new pair of sneakers.The surprise visit from Ludacris was met with lots of excitement as students lined up to receive their new shoes. Many students expressed heartfelt gratitude towards him for his generous gift. One student even shed tears of joy when they received his present.
The event was a huge success, and the students, staff, and educators were all very grateful for Ludacris’s generosity and kind gesture. His selfless act will surely bring much-needed Christmas cheer to many families in Atlanta. It shows that even small gestures of kindness can go a long way. Chris “Ludacris” Bridges is an inspiration to us all – demonstrating what it truly means to give back! We thank him from the bottom of our hearts for making this special event happen. The shoe giveaway at Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy and Leonora P. Miles Intermediate Elementary School is sure to be remembered for years to come.
