LudaDay Weekend is an annual charity weekend committed to giving back to the Atlanta community on behalf of The Ludacris Foundation.
Since its inception in 2005, LudaDay Weekend has consistently grown, attracting supporters from all over the nation. This year’s 9th Annual LudaDay Weekend, held on Thursday, August 28th through Monday, September 1st 2014 (Labor Day Weekend), will continue the tradition.
Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges, Ebony Son Management, DTP Recordings and The Ludacris Foundation coordinate numerous events, garner celebrity support, secure corporate sponsorship, and create media awareness, to better the lives of the Atlanta community.
