Jeezy's Sixth Annual Sno Ball Gala Returns November 10

Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins is bringing back the Sno Ball Gala for its sixth annual edition, a charity event benefiting the Street Dreamz Foundation, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, in Atlanta, Georgia. Actor and comedian Bill Bellamy will host the evening.

The gala is a fundraiser, not a concert, but it sits squarely inside hip-hop culture and has drawn names like Lil Jon and Ludacris to past editions. If you work in the Atlanta music and entertainment community, this is one of the bigger nights on the fall calendar.

What the Sno Ball Gala Is and Who It Benefits

The Street Dreamz Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that Jeezy founded in 2001. Its stated focus is on at-risk youth, with programming spanning education, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, technology and health. The annual gala is the foundation's signature fundraising event, pulling together entertainment, business and community figures for a night that includes silent and live auctions.

Proceeds from this year's event will go toward the foundation's ongoing initiatives in technology, entrepreneurship, financial literacy and what the organization calls its #HealthIsWealth programming.

For context on the host: Bill Bellamy is a stand-up comedian and actor best known for his MTV work in the 1990s and film and television appearances across the decades since. He brings a recognizable name and a crowd-friendly energy to an event that is as much about networking and community as it is about the auction floor.

What Street Dreamz Has Done in the Past Year

According to the release, 2026 has been an active year for the foundation ahead of this gala. Highlights include:, Jeezy serving as Program Ambassador for Young CEOs, a youth entrepreneurship initiative run in partnership with the Urban League of Greater Atlanta., A collaboration with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to provide experiences for children and families., A pop-up grocery market, organized alongside Atlanta Life, SF and Goodr, that delivered free groceries to 200 families.

These are the specifics the release offers. The foundation's broader history since its 2001 founding is documented at streetdreamzfoundation.org.

Jeezy Beyond the Gala

Jay Jenkins has been a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum recording artist since his mid-2000s run on Def Jam, with projects like "Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101" and "The Recession" establishing him as one of Atlanta's signature voices in trap and street rap. He is also a New York Times bestselling author. His public-facing work in recent years has leaned increasingly into philanthropy and community development, with the Sno Ball Gala serving as the most visible annual expression of that.

The fifth annual gala in 2025 featured appearances from Lil Jon and Ludacris alongside Jeezy, according to the release's photo caption.

Tickets, Donations and How to Get Involved

The release does not include specific ticket pricing or a ticketing link. For information on attending, sponsoring or donating, the Street Dreamz Foundation directs people to streetdreamzfoundation.org. Media inquiries go to Chanel Green at chanel@jwjenterprise.com. The foundation's executive director is Vikki Morrow, reachable at vikki@streetdreamzfoundation.org.

The event takes place in Atlanta. A specific venue was not named in the release.

What Independent Artists Can Take From This

The Sno Ball Gala is a useful case study in how artists at Jeezy's level build long-term community presence. The foundation launched in 2001, before his commercial peak, and has run continuously since. The gala is now in its sixth year, which means it has become a recurring event with its own reputation rather than a one-time press moment.

For independent artists thinking about how to connect their work to something larger: a registered nonprofit takes real infrastructure and sustained effort, but the template here is straightforward. Jeezy tied the foundation directly to his name and his existing audience, then built programming that addressed specific, measurable needs in his home community.
