APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – An event wanting to bring back positivity to hip-hop culture was held in Appleton on Sunday.
It was the second year for the “Hip Hop for Humanity.”
It featured various performers from rappers to magicians.
All of the proceeds were donated to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and the Boys and Girls Club of the Fox Valley.
The event coordinator, Hector DeJesus, tells FOX 11 it’s all about helping the community.
“So if I got to a venue and be like hey you know would you like to let us do a hip-hop performance here, a lot of people will say no because they think it brings a lot of trouble so we’re trying to bring more awareness to hip-hop in a positive way while giving back to the community.”
The group says it hopes to continue to grow and will be back next year for another event.
