Rapper A$AP Rocky recently joined with candy and novelty chain IT'SUGAR and AWGE Snacks to create a 'Gingerbread Cookie Kit' that aims to celebrate the holiday spirit by prompting consumers to take part in Christmasy activities, while also giving back to those who are in less fortunate positions.
To do so, A$AP Rocky and IT'SUGAR donate all proceeds from the Gingerbread Cookie Kits to the Always Strive and Prosper Foundation, a charitable organization that aims to spread awareness regarding the issue of drug abuse, fund prevention programs, and minimize the impact of addiction in affected communities. The organization was originally founded following the death of Steven “A$AP Yams” Rodriguez.
Included in each kit is enough mix to make eight to 10 cookies, colorful candy decorations, three tubes of icing, and a cookie cutter.
