In addition to the foundation, Scott has his project HEAL, which was launched after 10 of his fans died in a crowd stampede at his Astroworld festival in 2021.
In collaboration with the Cactus Jack Foundation, Project HEAL brings together initiatives ranging from academic scholarships, free mental health resources, a creative design center and event security solutions. These efforts, independently and collectively, aim to address the challenges affecting today’s youth.
