Rapper Ludacris is set to be honored for his philanthropic efforts at the Big "O" Youth Educational Dream Foundation's bi-annual fundraising gala in November.

An Evening of Respect will highlight the musician's efforts, along with those of NASCAR driver Kyle Perry and his wife, Pattie, all of whom work to raise funds and awareness for music and arts programs for children.

See the day's top celeb news photos.

The benefit, to be held in Atlanta on Nov. 5, will also feature a concert with to-be-announced performers.

The Big "O" Youth Educational Dream Foundation, founded in 2007, honors the memory of the late R&B crooner Otis Redding and was founded by his wife and children to provide youth music and arts programs.

Check out the ways other celebs give back.

The best dating club for seeking the rich singles, sexy beauties and even hot celebs.. what's the most important is that you dont have to be a millionaire.but you can meet one. I think everyone need to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy .You should check it out!!! GGGGGGG

    This is good to hear. It is nice to see some of the positive that comes from some rappers. It seems as though people only want to speak on the negative. I see there are no other comments here. Had Luda did some crap that not everyone approved of, there would be thousands of comments. Congrats to you Luda.
