Atlanta, GA, April 6th, 2022…. For the past twelve years, Grammy-winning artist and executive, Future and his Freewishes Foundation have made an enormous impact in the Atlanta metro community. Through various initiatives and community efforts, Freewishes has been an essential resource for children, students, and the adult senior community. Scholarships, holiday giveaways, and assisting senior citizens are just some of the yearly initiatives that are a key part of the foundation. This April, the foundation is elevating its impact and Future is making sure that all Atlanta metro kids have a happy easter. Future’s foundation is preparing for two enormous events that are close to his family’s heart.

“A lot of people were isolated since covid, and this is our chance to re-connect everyone and allow them to enjoy. We are all better together,” added his sister Tia Wilburn, Community Engagement Director of Freewishes.
Prior to this, on April 15th the Freewishes Foundation will have a special reveal of their renovation of Columbia High School’s weight room. Through the years, Future and his family have been giving back to his former school through sponsored events, workshops, and scholarships to seniors. One day Future and Tia realized that their old high school needed an updated weight room.
“Columbia has had the same weight room since I was attending there,” said Tia. “Since our foundation is very big on health and wellness it was important for us to help create an environment for students in which they could be comfortable, have pride, and perform their best. Also, research shows that students who are physically active tend to excel academically, and have better attendance. They are less likely to struggle with depression and other mental health issues,” shared Tia.
The Freewishes Foundation took it upon themselves to help renovate the weight room in partnership with Foot Locker. The foundation is looking forward to presenting the final reveal to students on April 15th.
