Travis Scott and Daughter Stormi Spread Holiday Joy With 2,000 Toy and Bike Donations
Through his Cactus Jack Foundation, Travis Scott organized the sixth annual Winter Wonderland Park toy and food drive, bringing holiday cheer to his hometown of Houston. Scott was joined by his daughter Stormi, parents, brothers, and extended family at the event, which was held in December recently at Texas Southern University and gave thousands Christmas gifts and food packs to the local community.
Children received gifts from Scott and Stormi, his 6-and-a-half-year-old daughter with ex-Kylie Jenner, in person. More than 2,000 toys and bikes, including exclusive Nike Cactus Jack sneakers, dolls, and items from the Houston Astros, Fanatics, and Space Village, were distributed by the foundation and the Houston Food Bank.
One thousand sacks of food were also donated. Rapper Don Toliver and Love Island USA star Serena Page were among the festive attractions at the event, which also included a visit from Santa Claus.

Given Scott’s family’s strong ties to HBCUs, the location at Texas Southern University—a historically Black university—was noteworthy. His parents, grandparents, and siblings were among the many family members who attended Howard University, Prairie View A&M University, and Grambling State University. This year saw the addition of the Waymon Webster Scholarship Program, which bears Scott’s grandfather’s name. More than 100 graduating HBCU seniors have received more than $1 million in scholarships from the program since 2019. Students had the chance to find out about and apply for these scholarships at the event.
The Cactus Jack Foundation was established in 2020 to strengthen young people via artistic and educational endeavours. Additionally, the organization collaborates with Scott’s Project H.E.A.L., which was established in the wake of the fatal 2021 Astroworld Festival crowd surge. Academic scholarships, mental health resources, event safety protocols, and innovative activities are all part of Project H.E.A.L. When combined, these programs seek to help and inspire today’s children while tackling important issues in their lives.
