“The foundation is meant to inspire inner city youth to do just what the name states, ‘shoot for the stars,’ and help urban youth everywhere turn their pain into champagne by making their dreams a reality,” Pop Smoke‘s mother said. “As Bashar] traveled around the city, he realized that the technology he had access to during his school years was not the norm for urban schools. It was great fun brainstorming and planning Shoot for the Stars] with him. I am looking forward to working with the team he put together before he was so tragically taken from us.”
Pop initially launched the program earlier this year. In January, he revealed that he and his team were able to raise $100,000 in funds for Shoot for the Stars. The name the foundation aligns with his upcoming posthumous album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, out July 3rd.
