Atlanta’s vibrant culture is about to witness the seventh edition of Quavo‘s annual “Huncho Day.” Huncho Day is a celebration deeply rooted in community engagement and empowerment. This year, however, the event takes on a profound significance as it amplifies efforts towards combating gun violence. It’s set to take place April 28 this year. The city is now preparing to host an event that goes beyond entertainment and advocates for social change. The tragic loss of Quavo’s nephew and Migos member Takeoff, to gun violence in 2022 shook everyone in the hip-hop community. Moreover, it sparked a dedication within Quavo to advocate against the use of gun violence. Furthermore, ‘Quavo Cares Social Impact Hub’ is a platform dedicated to figuring out solutions to Atlanta’s gun violence issue.

While Huncho Day has always been a celebration of Atlanta’s culture and talent, this year introduces a significant expansion of its programming. Alongside the traditional football and basketball youth clinics and combines, attendees can now engage in the excitement of Team Huncho Basketball and Team Huncho Elite 7v7 football games. This expansion adds to the event’s growth. In addition, it also serves as a testament to Quavo’s commitment to using sports as a vehicle for positive change.

However, what truly sets this year’s Huncho Day apart is its focus on supporting gun violence prevention initiatives. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit “Rocket Camp,” a 10-week summer violence intervention program. Led by the Offender Alumni Association, Rocket Camp aims to empower high-risk youth aged 13-17 by providing them with opportunities for economic, social, and civic growth. It’s a proactive approach that acknowledges the nature of gun violence. Moreover, the Quavo Cares Social Impact Hub stands as a vision for community transformation. Last year, J.I.D., Jalen Ramsey, and others popped out to support the event.

Despite the event being sold out, there’s an opportunity to join the waitlist. It’s a testament to Atlanta’s collective resolve to confront gun violence head-on and create a future where every individual can thrive without fear. As Huncho Day returns to its roots in Atlanta, it does as a celebration of culture. Moreover, it’s a rallying cry for change. Will you be attending this year’s Huncho Day?
