Future is giving back to 2020 high school graduates impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in his home state of Georgia. The Freebandz boss has announced he’ll be awarding scholarships to incoming college freshmen through his FreeWishes Foundation’s “Still A Dreamer” campaign.
“You don’t have to be in the perfect situation or come from the perfect background to reach for your dreams,” he said in a press statement. “Despite this COVID-19 pandemic, I encourage all dreamers to continue to dream big.”
Future’s mother and FreeWishes co-founder Stephanie Jester added, “We acknowledge that many families have been financially impacted by COVID-19. As we fast forward into this new climate we would like to continue to make dreams come alive and wishes come true.”
