HOUSTON — Travis Scott and his Cactus Jack Foundation hosted the fifth annual Winter Wonderland theme park and holiday drive on Saturday, Dec. 21 in partnership with Webster family HBCU alma mater Texas Southern University (TSU) and the Houston Food Bank, providing 1,000 Houstonians with toys, bikes, sneakers, merch and food for the holiday season.
The event marked a milestone for the foundation, bringing its multi-year HBCU commitment, the Waymon Webster Scholarship Program, to the annual holiday drive effort for the first time. Honoring the Webster family HBCU legacy, to date, the program has awarded over $1 million in scholarships to over 100 graduating seniors.
The Cactus Jack Foundation, alongside the Houston Food Bank, provided over 2,000 toys and bikes in addition to 1,000 bags of food to the community. On site at the event, 200 Nike Cactus Jack sneakers were given out while limited-edition Cactus Jack Nike, Fanatics, Houston Astros, and Space Village gear was distributed to local families at their branded stations. The event featured a Winter Wonderland-themed outdoor inflatable pop-up park for children, complete with a giant bounce house and a special visit from Santa Claus. Longtime partner Houston Astros had a station as well with sign-up stations for Scott’s TXRX Lab and Waymon Webster Program for future scholars to get more information about the program and how to apply for an HBCU scholarship.
Attendees included Scott’s Webster family (all of which attended HBCUs), Chairman of Texas Southern University Brandon L. Simmons, City of Houston Controller Chris Hollins in addition to surprise appearances from Don Toliver and Serena Page.
