HOUSTON -- Grammy Award-winning artist Drake will host the three-day Houston Appreciation Weekend with a special Houston Appreciation Night at Minute Maid Park on Thursday, June 12.
The Appreciation Night at Minute Maid Park will include a pregame ceremony, along with several other events geared to benefit local, youth-based charities.
More than 50 children from the Houston Urban Youth Academy and RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) program will have a chance to be on the field with Drake for a meet-and-greet that will include dinner and tickets to the game.
There will be a Drake Section at Minute Maid Park, where the ticket sales in the section will benefit a local charity of Drake's choosing. Those who buy tickets in the section will receive a Houston Appreciation Night T-shirt.
Drake has sold more than 5 million albums and has had 12 No. 1 singles.
