Celebrating its 20th anniversary as a holiday institution, Cash Money Records reveals the details for its 2016 turkey giveaways in Miami, New Orleans, and for the very first time, Newark NJ. The Miami giveaway is scheduled for Friday, November 18th, and the New Orleans and Newark giveaways will follow concurrently on Tuesday, November 22nd. Full details regarding each city are enclosed below.

The vision of 501(c)(3) charity The Johnny and Gladys Williams Foundation—founded by Cash Money Records Co-Founders and brothers Ronald “Slim” Williams and Bryan “Birdman” Williams. The brothers first envisioned the Turkey Giveaway in 1996 as a means to give back to the New Orleans community, which provided a foundation for them to become one of the city’s biggest success stories. That same year, they instituted the Johnny and Gladys Williams Foundation as a tribute to their parents who inspired the organization’s namesake.

The turkey giveaways remain charitable pillar in these communities and 2016 marks 20th Anniversary since the Williams Brothers first began giving back to their hometown with the inaugural event that produced this yearly charity.

Each year, the Foundation/Record Label it has offered needy families a significant Thanksgiving bounty, and it resounds with goodwill throughout these respective cities. 2016 will undoubtedly be the biggest yet.

It’s been a season of charity for Cash Money Records. On Saturday November 5, the label hosted its first-ever “Kids Backpack Giveaway” for flood victims at the Cortana Mall in Baton Rouge, LA. They handed out a total of 600 backpacks filled with much-needed school supplies, offering both help and hope.

About The Turkey Giveaway:

Miami, FL: Friday, November 18 For the fifth consecutive year, Cash Money Records hosts its South Florida giveaway. The label Co-Founders, artists, and even a few surprise guests will be present, distributing turkeys and side fixings to the Miami community at Little Haiti Soccer Park (6301 NE 2nd Avenue; Miami, FL 33127) from 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Miami holds a special place in the label’s collective heart, serving as a second home to the company executives and much of the roster.

Walmart supplies turkeys at the event. In addition to securing dry goods, longtime partner The Little Haiti Optimist Club oversees setup/logistics and permits, as well as water for volunteers. The City of Miami Police handles security, and Chef Creole Restaurant cooks up meals for volunteers, officers, and health vendors. WEDR [99 Jamz] will be cranking up tunes throughout the day.

The Miami Giveaway welcomes some partners for 2016. Walgreens is offering flu shots, while Euphoric Healing delivers both chiropractic work and massages.

Other partners include Western Union.

Ronald ‘Slim’ Williams states, “For us, it all comes down to charity. The moment that we had the resources and blessings to give back, we did. 1996 was an important milestone for the label as we received the opportunity to do something good for our city. The giveaway is part of our who we are as a company and a family, and it will be forever. I’m excited for the next twenty years.”

Birdman comments, “I can’t believe it’s been twenty years since we first started doing this! I can vividly remember the very first year. It was the most powerful feeling to uplift the community we call home. It gets better as we go along. God has given us so much, and giving back is the ultimate blessing.”
