Game was presented with the Humanitarian Of The Year award from the Associates for Breast and Prostate Cancer Studios (ABCs) Saturday (November 22), during the 25th Annual Talk Of The Town Black Tie Gala.
The Compton, California emcee was presented with the award in recognition of his humanitarian efforts through his own charitable organization, The Robin Hood Project.
After receiving the award, Game took to Instagram to show his appreciation for the honor.
“It all started when I gave one kid from Africa $20,” Game said. “That created @therobinhoodproject & since then I’ve given away over a million dollars of my own money hand to hand & through charitable organizations. I am honored & more than appreciative of #ABC for this ‘Humanitarian Of The Year’ award. I was just a poor kid from Compton…. Never thought in a million years I’d have even an extra dollar to giveaway let alone a million. #Humbled”
Earlier this year, Game spoke about his philanthropic efforts and why he decided to start his own organization.
“The Robin Hood Project is a charity set up by me to give back to the people,” Game said at the time. “See I figured once you have everything, as a celebrity, once you have money, once you have cars, once you have family, once you have fans, once you’ve been around the world, what else is there to do besides start giving back?
“So I created The Robin Hood Project solely for positivity, giving back and helping people in need, people that are struggling, people that come into hardships in their life,” Game continued. “That’s all me.”

I’m sure you haven’t got an award for sitting on your ass complaining about Game.
sad that there aren’t as many opinions here as there are on other posts about celebrity beef, or which album was better. this is in fact the very essence of hip hop; being able to give back to the communities. it’s amazing to see an artist finally giving back. i was very surprised to see it was game. kudos. #robinhoodproject
Wait a minute, didn’t this guy beat the hell out of his baby momma in front of their children earlier this year? It said he smashed her eye socket.
partly right. yeah he hit her, but no not in front of the kids. thats just a bullshit rumor some 50 cock swallowers came up with lol.
Anyway she deserved it. Dont be a faggot and pretend women are immune from certain things b.
“hats just a bullshit rumor some 50 cock swallowers came up with lol” ….. no dude, thats what the police report on tmz said. it actually said he told the kids they called the cops mommy and daddy would both go to jail, might have hurt his daughters leg in his fit of rage too, cant remember

Well done, Game! Keep it up.
Hats off, salute to GAME.
Short story- my mothers friends son was laid off from work, 19, went to GAME concert, met GAME, obviously feeling down- young and out of work- GAME took him on rest of tour of UK and Ireland, paid for everything. Fucking true gentleman. SALUTE.
Even when I was little I only listened to rappers with a head on they shoulders. Nas was my first favorite then Kanye, 50, and Game came along, then Lupe, I can’t really name one artist back then I even liked that won’t at least aware of the world around them. Even Papoose was talking Law Library.
