This event marks the 4th Annual Kadeem Carson Foundation Fundraiser. This year, we’re changing things up by introducing a Family Reunion theme—a fitting tribute to Kadeem, as family, community, and bringing people together meant so much to him.
As we gather to celebrate Kadeem’s life and legacy, we invite family, friends, and community members to enjoy a day filled with fun, fellowship, and meaningful connections. Through outreach, shared experiences, and community engagement, we honor the values Kadeem lived by and the impact he continues to have on those around him.
More than a fundraiser, this event is a celebration of unity, love, and service. It is an opportunity to reconnect, create lasting memories, and support the Kadeem Carson Foundation’s mission while keeping Kadeem’s spirit alive.
We thank everyone for joining us as we celebrate a legacy that lives on through family, community, and the positive difference we make together.
