( ENSPIRE Community Spotlight ) Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation Hosts its 5th Annual ‘Winter Wonderland’
On one of the last Saturdays of December, Travis Scott and his Cactus Jack Foundation hosted their fifth annual Winter Wonderland theme park and holiday drive in partnership with the Webster family’s HBCU alma mater, Texas Southern University (TSU), and the Houston Food Bank. They provided 1,000 members of their beloved Houston community with toys, bikes, sneakers, merch, and food for the holiday season.
This event marks a milestone for the foundation, which is bringing its multi-year HBCU commitment, the Waymon Webster Scholarship Program, to the annual holiday drive for the first time. To honor the Webster family’s HBCU legacy, the program has awarded over $1 million in scholarships to over 100 graduating seniors, empowering the next generation.
At the lively event hosted at TSU, the Cactus Jack Foundation and the Houston Food Bank provided over 2,000 toys and bikes and 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 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.
The event attendees included Scott’s Webster family (all of which attended HBCUs), Chairman of Texas Southern University Brandon L. Simmons, and City of Houston Controller Chris Hollins, in addition to surprise appearances from Don Toliver and Serena Page, all of whom came together to support the foundation’s mission ahead of the holiday season.
The Cactus Jack Foundation’s mission is to empower and enrich the lives of youth by providing access to education and creative resources to ensure long-term success. The foundation believes the youth should not be prevented from attaining their lifetime goal and is committed to extending educational opportunities to all, regardless of their circumstances, to achieve their dreams.
