Over the weekend, actor Jamie Foxx hospitably hosted a fundraiser at his own home for the Trayvon Martin Foundation in honor of the slain teen.
Trayvon’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, were in attendance, as well as his brother, Jahvaris Fulton.
A number of Foxx’s Hollywood buddies also attended the event. Tyrese, Harry Belafonte, Tim Robbins and Larenz Tate were there to offer their support. Russell Simmons presented Martin’s parents with a six-figure check.
Tyrese took to Instagram to post the photo above and to express his gratitude to Foxx and those who offered their support to Trayvon’s family.
“A powerful gathering of ‘influence’ organized by @iamjamiefoxx this brother and friend raised a lot of money on behalf of the Trayvon Martin Foundation. I showed up cause I’m uncomfortable with injustice. Jamie Foxx I’m very proud of you and HOW you’re using your influence.”
