Big Boi spoke of the 2014 holiday event in a recent interview stating:
One thing about the Big Kidz Foundation is that we just don?t give back during Thanksgiving and Christmas, we give back all year round.
Tonight isn’t just about the food and drinks but its about the kids. We are so looking forward to going into a New Year and just want everyone to have a good time. That’s why I hosted tonight?s gala here at Stankonia, where all the funky things come from. It?s such a historic monument and I feel blessed to have everyone come to the place I call home.
Guests included: Dr. Heavenly Kimes (Married to Medicine), Jason Weaver (Actor), Rodney Perry, Kwanza Hall (Atlanta City Council), Johnathan Scott (NFL), Comedian Rodney Perry and more.
