Cash Money Records is giving new meaning to the name “Birdman.”
This Tuesday, November 26, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. join the Cash Money Records’ 23rd Annual Turkey Giveaway at the New Home Full Gospel Ministries at 1605 Carondelet Street.
DJs from Radio station Q93 will be creating the soundtrack. NOLA Games On Wheels will be bringing video games and fun all-ages activities. Label co-founders/brothers Ronald “Slim” Williams and Bryan “Birdman” Williams will be in attendance, as they honor their parents through their 501(c)(3) organization, The Johnny and Gladys Williams Foundation.
For the sixth year running, Ochsner Health Systems will be providing free full-service health screenings* and Dr. David Liang (Director at the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease) and his staff will offer Aortic Disease and Marfan Syndrome heart screenings. *Ochsner Health Services include testing for glucose, cholesterol and blood pressure, dental care, eye exams, quick look EKGs, stroke assessment and more. They will also be providing healthy recipe books and help with smoking cessation.
“It’s incredible to think we’ve been doing The Turkey Giveaway for 23 years,” comments Ronald ‘Slim’ Williams. “I really believe it’s the most important thing we do. New Orleans made us. It’s a part of who we are. So, there’s no better feeling than giving back to our home. Every year, we try to do more, but it’ll never be enough to thank the city for everything it’s given to us and our families.” Birdman adds, “There’s nothing more important as far as I’m concerned—and
never will be anything more important. It comes before anything.”
