(BPRW) ARTIST TRU DEF BRINGS JOY DURING THE HOLIDAYS BY FEEDING OVER 4200 FAMILIES IN NEED DURING HIS FIRST VIRTUAL FUNDRAISER

He is set to champion for 1000 children during his toy drive in December.

(Black PR Wire) Friday, December 4th, 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) – Viewers helped Hip Hop artist Tru Def [Lyft, Nordstrom, Ear Peace] exceed his goal to feed 1000 families during a six-hour fundraiser to raise awareness of the hunger crisis facing Angelinos this holiday season. The event took place virtually on Instagram Live, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch on Wednesday, November 18th, 2020. Tru’s supporters texted “FoodLA” to “41444” to donate all proceeds to Food Finders Inc. Food Finders is a nonprofit food recovery organization with the mission of rescuing food and reducing hunger in the communities they serve.

“With 2020 being a challenging year for individuals and organizations, we appreciate Tru Def extending his resources, talent, and efforts to spread awareness about food insecurity and support our organization. With his donations[fundraiser], we can provide 4,202 meals to the Southern California community!! If anyone would like to learn more about our organization, please visit www.foodfinders.org; thank you,” said social media & marketing specialist Eric Lara. 

The recent California transplant and rap artist has previously partnered with Lyft, Pepsi, and Microsoft. Tru has shared the stage with Lupe Fiasco, T.I, Pitbull, Lil John, and Ludacris and continues to be influenced by artists like Will Smith, Anderson Paak, J Cole, and Donald Glover. He is also set to fundraise again on December 18th to make 1000 children's wishes come true during his virtual toy drive.
