Fat Joe will be honored for his charity work on behalf of In Arms Inc. in New York City on Thursday night. In Arms Reach Inc. is a nonprofit group that offers assistance to the children of prisoners.

The Bronx-bred Boricua says: “I’m proud to help bring awareness to this segment of youth, at a time when so many of our families in the minority community remain separated by the system.”

The ceremony will be held at the City University of New York’s City College.
