Ludacris' Foundation Creates Playground For Kids

Giving back to the community is something that always sounds like a great idea, but it is seldom that many actually stand and answer such a call.

For Southwest Atlanta Venetian Hills Elementary School, a simple playground that comes off as a necessary was clearly a privilege they were without, as it was non-existent for 15 years.

The Ludacris Foundation, however, felt it a right for these children to have an area to play and teamed with United Health Care to help that happen.
