MERRY LUDA-CRISMAS IS
MAKING ITS ROUNDS ONCE AGAIN

“Ludacris, his foundation and Harley-Davidson are bringing Christmas cheer to Atlanta area children”

Atlanta, GA – This Christmas, in the spirit of giving, the multi-platinum rapper/actor Ludacris will provide a very special Christmas for some Atlanta area children - call it a Merry Luda-Crismas. "The Christmas season is all about finding joy in making others happy. We give to loved ones and others that are less fortunate than ourselves. This is done without hesitation and this is who and what we are all about.  During the holidays there is no greater gift than the "gift of giving" and putting smiles on the faces of kids," says Ludacris. 

Ludacris, The Ludacris Foundation, Harley-Davidson, and DTP are teaming to host a Christmas Party for approximately 100 children, 6 to 14 years old.  The children were selected from communities throughout the metro Atlanta area.  Children attending the party will be treated to a visit from Santa, games, entertainment, and great food. The party will take place on Saturday, December 16th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Adamsville Recreation Center, 3201 Martin Luther King Jr. SW., Atlanta, GA 30311.

“At The Ludacris Foundation, we understand the importance of helping others and giving back” said Roberta Shields, President of The Ludacris Foundation.  “We understand that the little things we do can sometimes have a huge effect on these children for years to come.  We understand! That’s why we do what we do.”

The Christmas Party is a part of the Foundation's Luda Cares Initiative.  The Luda Cares Initiative is dedicated to supporting kids and families in need during the holiday season.  Providing food, toys and surprise visits.
