About the event, Herbo commented, "With All Star Weekend coming to Chicago, I wanted to be a part of something positive that gives back to the community. Something that gives the kids a safe place to have a good time. Let's do this!"

Chance adds, "It's so dope that the city can come together like this and offer a cool entertainment experience for the kids while benefiting those less fortunate."
