The Live Free 999 Fund, which was founded in honor of Juice WRLD, revealed that it has given a complete set of band and orchestral instruments to the rapper’s former school, Deer Creek Christian School in Chicago Heights, Illinois.

Juice’s mother, Carmela Wallace established the 999 Fund, commenting in a press release how the rapper’s teacher, Lannaea Alexander “had a profound effect on my son’s life, and I have never forgotten her positive influence on him and the other students under her tutelage.” She added that she’s “pleased to be able to support her work at Deer Creek by helping to make it possible for her students to pursue their interest in music education.”

The donation has completely equipped the school’s band and orchestra and has supplied beginning instruments for students in preschool through second grade.
