Ludacris the Philanthropist

One of the many things we love over here at AULYP is philanthropy. We’ve been observing Chris Bridges’ (AKA Ludacris) philanthropic work for quite some time and like what we see. Following the buzz about his work with the 2010 Census and the CDC’s HIV/AIDS awareness campaign targeting the African-American community, we recently learned that he’s giving away a substantial amount of money this week on V-103’s "Frank and Wanda Morning Show" just because.

Luda stays on the move by providing monetary support and donating time in the Atlanta community and beyond. If you haven't heard much about The Ludacris Foundation's work, let us provide an overview. The foundation has donated $500,000 to support grassroots organizations and invested more than 2,500 hours in service to youth across the nation, according to The Ludacris Foundation's facts.

So where is Luda right now? He’s currently in NOLA encouraging residents to complete their 2010 Census form and to mail it back. Next, he's on his way to New York, DC and Atlanta to promote the same message. Great example of community empowerment!
