Houston \u2013 Houston rappers are known for their music, their presence, and the mark they\u2019ve made on the culture, but many of them also make giving back a priority, and this weekend, one of the city\u2019s most recognizable voices is doing just that. Slim Thug <\/a>joined us in Studio B to share details about his annual holiday bash and toy drive, presented in partnership with fast-food chain Checkers.<\/p>\n

Slim Thug said giving back has always been part of his routine. He explained that he and Checkers try to team up at least once a quarter for community projects, whether it\u2019s supporting schools, hosting back-to-school drives, or putting on a holiday event. He said they missed a few years of working together, but now that the partnership is rolling again, they\u2019re able to make a bigger impact.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s holiday bash supports BEAR, which stands for Be A Resource<\/a>. The organization provides essential items and comfort to children involved with CPS. Slim Thug said something as simple as a new toy can completely change a child\u2019s day.<\/p>\n

The event is also packed with fun. Attendees can expect a DJ, snow on site, photos with the Grinch, and even a visit from \u201cSanta Slim.\u201d Everyone who donates a toy will receive a coupon for a free meal at Checkers, including Slim Thug\u2019s signature combo meal. Guests will also get a limited signed photo during the meet and greet.<\/p>\n

Slim Thug also shared a little about his life outside of music and giving back. He talked about his regular runs at Memorial Park and how fitness is part of his daily routine. He said he tries to get out there almost every day, even if it\u2019s just for a walk or a few miles before heading into the studio or back into community work.<\/p>\n

If you would like to take part, Santa Slim\u2019s Holiday Bash and Toy Drive takes place this Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Checkers on Jones Road. If you can\u2019t make it out in person, KPRC 2 is also partnering with BEAR<\/a> to help collect gifts for children across Houston. Viewers can scan the QR code on screen to learn more and donate through December 15.<\/p>\n
