Last year’s Impact Awards marked the official launch of Lee’s non-profit organization, Hollywood Cares Foundation, which provides assistance and resources to communities in need, with a particular focus on youth services and resources.
Lee, 46, recognized the need to create the organization by observing the tremendous untapped potential in the world of pop culture to uplift underserved youth, particularly in Brown and Black communities.
‘Our work unlocks critical resources from the culture — from brand and individual influence to big media reach — to provide life-changing programming for these young people,’ the reality star, philanthropist, and entertainment businessman revealed.
‘We help our youth see the very best in themselves, and equip them with the tools to empower themselves and others, with programming centered around three categories: Youth Leadership, Civic Engagement, and Personal Development.
