“They Didn’t Believe in Us—But Look at Us Now”: DJ Khaled’s We The Best Foundation Inspires Change

By Lisa Barber-Hannaway

When DJ Khaled says, “We the best,” he means it—and his second annual We the Best Foundation x Jordan Golf Classic is certified proof. The event included a star-studded opening night reception at Miami’s Casadonna on Wednesday, December 4 and charity golf tournament held at the Miami Beach Golf Club on Thursday, December 5. Channeling the same collaborative energy that fuels his chart-topping hits, Khaled brought together an all-star lineup of celebrities, athletes, and changemakers for an event that highlighted the power of unity and compassion.

From music phenom Saint JHN to Olympic legend Michael Phelps, NBA star Jimmy Butler, rapper turned politician Uncle Luke, rapper and golf lover Bun B, and comedic powerhouse Anthony Anderson, the guest list radiated star power. Adding to the mix, basketball icon Michael Jordan sponsored sportswear for the occasion, underscoring the event’s blend of inspiration and action.

But this event wasn’t just about big names. Khaled’s We The Best Foundation partnered with impactful organizations like Circle of Brotherhood Miami, a group dedicated to mentoring underserved youth. DJ Khaled’s foundation also gave away $25,000.

The collaboration spotlighted stories that hit home, like Omari’s—a young beat maker with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who refuses to let his condition silence his creativity.

Through mentorship, storytelling, and an unwavering commitment to uplift, DJ Khaled’s foundation continues to prove one thing loud and clear: “Together, we really are the best.”

The event served as a platform to highlight important causes and the organizations supporting them. Alonzo Mourning spoke about empowering communities through his charity, while Jason Lee of Hollywood Unlocked championed the needs of foster children. By uniting these diverse voices and resources, the “We The Best” Foundation ensures that support reaches those who need it most, emphasizing that every contribution, big or small, can make a significant difference. In a world where negative news often dominates the headlines, it’s crucial to actively seek out positivity and celebrate these acts of kindness and collaboration.

Ultimately, the event showcased DJ Khaled’s commitment to building bridges and collaboration to create real, lasting change. Let this inspire you to seek out the good in the world and contribute to positive change, however you can.
