Several celebrities attended the 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Carnival to support Foundation F.O.C.U.S., Zone 4, Incorporated, Polow da Don and Mia A. Welsh to bring joy and turkeys to Atlanta locals for the holidays. This phenomenal event took place at the Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta, Georgia and drew in hundreds of local families to attend. The event gave away 500 turkeys in addition to feeding homeless families that lined up. Chaka Zula, CEO of Disturbing the Peace (rapper Ludacris’ Label), made a surprise visit to help out and donated an additional 600 turkeys. The six hour event featured a concert which opened with Councilman Jim Maddox, from the eleventh district, making a presentation to honor Polow da Don with a proclamation from the City of Atlanta for his philanthropy efforts. In addition, Polow da Don was presented with a recognition award from Atlanta Mayor, Shirley Franklin.
“This was a dream I had long ago, which has become a reality and I’m glad that we are able to help several families during the Thanksgiving Holidays,” comments a happy Polow da Don while on stage watching Ester Dean perform during the event.

The event took place with a full carnival on hand featuring 20 rides and a small farm for kids to enjoy a petting zoo. Live radio broadcast from V-103 with DJ Greg Street took place while several shocking live performances from artists including Keri Hilson, and Ester Dean who performed with a mascot of her alter ego, ‘Suzie’. Polow handed Monica the microphone and she graced the stage singing songs a cappella and then handed the microphone to Fonzworth Bentley (who attended as a guest) who not only gave a few versus from his last album, but free-style danced to 80s music. New Zone 4, Incorporated artist Jared Evans performed and then Rich Boy closed the show with fan favorites and new music for his upcoming album. Several other familiar faces including Jody Smith, Waka Flocka, Dorrough, Cochiman, Devyn Stephens (CEO of Konvict Muzik), Chubbie Boy, DJ Infamous, DJ Unk, Senator Kasim Reed and Judge Kimberly Esmond Adams attended to show their support.
“We plan on doing this Thanksgiving Carnival ever year and are thankful for everyone who came out to help,” said Co-Founder of Foundation F.O.C.U.S., Mia A. Welsh.
Contestants entered their information to hopefully be selected as the winner of the “Free Rent For A Year,” a contest that relieves an individual or family from paying their rent or mortgage for an entire year. The event was made possible with sponsors Zone 4, Incorporated, Foundation F.O.C.U.S., Upscale Magazine, BMI, Coca-Cola, Greenbriar Mall, Crystal Springs, Publix, The Lowman Group (Athlete’s Foot, Supreme, and FAME) and Kroger.
