Miami rapper Trick Daddy and his non-profit Trick Luvs Da Kids Foundation has partnered with the Florida Marlins and radio station 103.5 The Beat for a day of free activities for local high school students.

The rapper will host the 3rd Annual Trick Luvs Da Kids Back to School Family Fun Fest at Virrick Park Saturday (July 29), providing a day of free activities, food and music. Additionally, students will receive a backpack filled with school supplies to help them through the upcoming school year.

“We want to encourage students to do their best in school," Trick Daddy told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "South Florida schools are among the lowest schools in the state with low FCAT [Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test scores.] We want students to be excited about learning."

Through the efforts of Trick Daddy and many others, FCAT scores in reading and math have steadily risen in 2006, according to numbers released by the Miami-Dade County Public School system.

"I enjoy giving back to the children," Trick Daddy continued. "These kids will one day be our leaders."

The Trick Luvs Da Kids Back to School Family Fun Fest takes place at 3255 Plaza Street in Coconut Grove. For more log on: http://www.trickdaddydollars.com/
