The Fat Boys are known mostly for their work in the 1980’s. Their artistic endeavors made them fan favorites, and their roles in films worked to double that adoration. Now, they are teaming up with the American Cancer Society and Macy’s to bring Relay for Life.
Prince Markie Dee and Kool Rock-ski, along with Uncle Louie Music Group, and Macy’s own Ed McManus are all set to help the cause. As they generate interest and financial support to find a cure for cancer, they also plan on obtaining and maintaining healthy lifestyles, according to a press release.
