The Shawn Carter Foundation black tie gala had everyone pulling through
Whether you’re big into the big names like Lil Uzi Vert and Beyoncé or are blown away by the fact the foundation raised $20 million by this past Friday night, there’s plenty to celebrate from the New York City outing.
On Friday evening (7/14), The Shawn Carter Foundation hosted a black-tie gala at Pier Sixty in New York City to celebrate the organization’s 20-year anniversary.
The night saw the biggest names in music, sports, business and entertainment come together, including Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, Mrs. Gloria Carter, Beyoncé, DJ Khaled, Lil Uzi Vert, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Fanatics founder Michael Rubin, Meek Mill, Babyface, Regina Hall, Yo Gotti, Angela Simmons, Miguel, Tinashe, A$AP Ferg, Saint Jhn, actor Chazz Palminteri, MLB All-Star Robinson Cano, NFL All-Pro Dez Bryant, Angie Martinez, Corey Gamble, social justice activist Tamika Mallory, Zane Lowe, Ebro Darden, Nadeska Alexis, NFL Hall of Famer Curtis Martin, Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay, Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher, Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Anthony Brown Jr., Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Tyler Lacy, and more.
By the end of the evening, The Shawn Carter Foundation had raised $20 million that will be used to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships further their education at postsecondary institutions, including a $10 million legacy donation from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. The donation will enable the foundation to exponentially expand multiple initiatives including our international exchange program, scholarships and community goodwill and emergency assistance programs. Jack Dorsey donated an additional $2 million to the foundation, as part of his annual contribution.
Shortly before the gala, The Shawn Carter Foundation and Robert Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism announced a partnership to stop the nationwide book bans and protect educational freedom. As part of the collaboration, both organizations teamed up to contribute $1 million to advocate for free speech and intellectual learning. Later in the evening, Fanatics and Live Nation contributed an additional $500,000 apiece to further support the initiative. The collaborative effort will enable both organizations to provide book donations, legal support, marketing assistance, publishing help and additional resources to protect creatives and institutions harmed by the nationwide book ban.
For context, The Shawn Carter Foundation was co-founded in 2003 by Ms. Gloria Carter and Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter. The foundation has provided students with college scholarships and tours to historically black colleges and universities, study abroad opportunities, wealth building programs, and more for underserved youth and families from disenfranchised communities. All proceeds from Friday’s gala will help to open the doors of education, travel, enlightenment and experiences to those that may never have thought it possible.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance album is dropping this summer
While details are still coming together, folks can go ahead and pencil in July 29 as the slated drop date for her first project in years.
It will be Beyonce Knowles’ first drop of new music since 2016’s “Lemonade,” which was itself a surprise release and her sixth solo album. “Renaissance” will mark her seventh, though the secondary title, “act i,” suggests it’s part of a larger, or multi-part, project.
The “will she or won’t she” guessing had started less than two weeks prior when Knowles wiped clean her social media channels, signaling that an announcement of some kind was coming. Then on June 15, the singer’s BeyGOOd Foundation tweeted a message in honor of Black Music Month, posting an image of iconic albums and captioning the collage: “Celebrating the brilliance and creativity of Black Musicians who have influenced the world through their art.”
