As of today, Gibbs has received $2,705 of his $3,000 goal to help underprivileged students prepare for the new school year. Although the academic school year is coming to a close for students across the country, Freddie Gibbs is using the summer break to raise money and get students in his hometown of Gary, Indiana excited for the new academic year.

Gibbs launched his campaign via GoFundMe and set his goal at $3,000 on the site and plans to donate what he receives to the School Supply Giveaway of Gary (SSGA).

“Growing up in Gary there was little opportunity for a kid like me to make something of myself,” Gibbs wrote via GoFundMe. “Not having the basic supplies that every other kid in any other city had left a lot of us with little motivation to do well in school and turned a lot of us to darker paths. By helping these students acquire the basic supplies every student needs and deserves you will be maximizing their chances at a brighter future.”

Freddie Gibbs is “that dude” for helping out the future leaders of his hometown.
