Charlie Mack, a longtime business associate of actor/rapper Will Smith, has held the annual ?Charlie Mack Party 4 Peace Celebrity Weekend? for the past seven years, to help stem the ongoing violence in Philadelphia and its surrounding communities. This year, he’s getting a little help from rap superstar T.I.
T.I. will be co-hosting this year’s event, which takes place from July 23-25th in Philly. Comedian Kevin Hart, actors Terry Crews, Essence Atkins, Faison Love, reality star Sheree Whitfield, and rappers Doug E. Fresh and Heavy D are also slated to appear.
Mack issued a statement regarding the event. “As a native Philadelphian, I wanted to provide young people with a vehicle to interact with today’s entertainment industry actors/actresses and professional sports players, however, it was after the loss of my two brothers that I saw an even greater need to create a fundraising benefit to assist anti-violence organizations.”
T.I. starred in the film ATL, which was produced by Mack and Will Smith. ]]>
