Shaq Throwing Star Studded Charity Event, H.E.R., Maroon 5, Pitbull Performing

Last year it was Snoop Dogg … and Shaq‘s contacting a few of his celeb pals when again to assist him raise money for a fantastic cause — the NBA Hall of Famer’s tossing his second yearly “The Event“ in Las Vegas — and the lineup’s packaging severe star power!

“We’ve got some great performers,” Shaq informed Babcock on the TMZ Sports television program (airs weekdays on FS1), stating … “H.E.R., Pitbull, Maroon 5, Maren Morris, John Mulaney, you know this is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year. You know the mission of the Shaquille O’Neal Foundation is to help underserved youth reach their full potential.”

The occasion decreases at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Sin City on Saturday … and Shaq has actually partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs and Communities in Schools. All of the cash raised will go straight towards charity … not administrative charges or anybody’s pockets.

“All proceeds, all proceeds go to helping underserved youth. Not 85 cents on the dollar, not 95 cents, 100 percent. All proceeds go to helping underserved youth.”

Shaq, naturally, desires individuals who are economically able to assist … however if you can’t, O’Neal still desires you to come out and take pleasure in the program.

“We just want people to come and have fun because if you look at the stars we have now, this is a big-time concert.”

And, if in 2015’s occasion is any sign, Saturday’s celebration will be lit. Snoop and Shaq took the phase together in 2021, and carried out “Nuthin’ but a G Thang.”
