A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Always Strive and Prosper Foundation which was founded four years ago by Tatianna Rodriguez, Yams’ mother. The Foundation is dedicated to providing young people and underrepresented communities with accessible and realistic education about substance use and abuse. Each year the Foundation hosts several community based events including an annual Back to School Basketball Tournament with backpacks, school supplies, and clothing for young children, a Thanksgiving dinner catered for a host of community families in the South Bronx and Harlem, a Christmas Toy and Coat Drive, and a Mothers’ Day event with food, gifts and group therapy for single mothers and mother’s who have lost loved ones to substance abuse. The Foundation has also partnered with the Washington Heights Corner Project, the New York Harm Reduction Educators, and Mothers For Life engaging in a series of public Narcan trainings and certifications as well as installing naloxone in community retail establishments and depots for immediate life saving emergencies.
