Once again Rick Ross Charities, Inc distributed thousands of back packs, school supplies and provided complementary food, drinks and amusement rides at the annual Rick Ross Be Out Day. In association with the City of Miami Gardens, The Children's Trust and WEDR 99 Jamz, Rick Ross Charities was able to serve over 2,000 children and families at this year's event.

 

Be Out Day also served as an outlet to provide complementary health screenings and voter empowerment. HealthConnect on Wheels provided onsite affordable health insurance options to children and their families, Care Resource provided onsite HIV Testing and Young Florida Vote registered many new voters during the event. Carol City Senior High School graduate Diamond Excel, who will be attending Florida A&M University in the fall was this years Rick Ross Charities, Inc Scholarship recipient.


 

While wrapping up Be Out Day, Rick Ross, City of Miami Gardens Mayor Shirley Gibson and State Representative Oscar Braynon II were on stage when random shots were fired in the air near the park where Be Out Day was held. The stage area was shortly cleared but not before Rick Ross returned to the stage with his celebrity friends to provide the children and their families a brief performance. Rick Ross stayed at the park later to sign autographs and mingle with the audience to make up for the disturbance. Ross explained, "some of these people were here before the event started; I couldn't just leave them hanging because of any disturbance". Ross continued, "I'm glad no one was hurt and most importantly I'm glad we were able to provide the Carol City Community with some needed services".
