Her nonprofit Camp Courage at Horizons for Homeless Children in Boston hosted the event

Following an incredible year, multi-platinum Grammy-nominated recording artist Coi Leray is pouring into her community this holiday season. She returned to her hometown Boston to host a giveback event through her nonprofit Camp Courage with the students and parents of Horizons for Homeless Children.

Nearly 200 students and their families received a chance to meet the rap star and partake in a family-friendly dance party. Coi and her team also provided nut-free, fall-themed snacks, and activities including face painting, pumpkin painting, and a Thanksgiving coloring station. She also donated educational items to give away to children as part of the event. Ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, this event will allow students at Horizons to participate in an integral part of Horizons’ mission—play—so they can focus on being kids.

Earlier this month, Leray received her first-ever Grammy nomination. The breakthrough artist scored two nominations in Best Rap Performance for her massive hit “Players” and Best Pop Dance Recording for “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” with David Guetta and Anne Marie.
