Flavor Flav is stepping up to help the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team celebrate their recent gold medal at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics the right way. The Public Enemy rapper will host a “She Got Game” weekend event in Las Vegas from July 16-19; however, he’ll need some assistance from the public. Earlier this week, he launched a GoFundMe for the event and shared it on his social media.

“Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations, so I created a GoFundMe,” he wrote in an X post on Feb. 26. “I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the U.S.” It was reported that the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team had been invited to the White House to celebrate their gold medal win, but ultimately turned it down, along with four other gold medalists.

Flavor Flav Launches Fundraiser To Assist Black Families Displaced By L.A. Wildfires

This isn’t the first time Flava Flav has stepped up to help others. Amid the L.A. wildfires last year, the legendary hype man launched a fundraiser in collaboration with GoFundMe and the Black Music Action Coalition to assist Black families that were displaced throughout L.A. County. “So many of y’all have helped in the aftermath of the L.A. fires…so many of y’all have received help,” Flav wrote in an Instagram post around the time. “But there’s SO MANY more that REALLY need your help. It’s been inspiring to see so many people come together as one to lift each other up, and I just want to highlight one aspect of the larger LA community in dire need.”

Recipients of the funds were selected from a consolidated list in the Displaced Black Families GoFundMe Directory. The list was created by Community Aid DenaAFROPUNK, and WalkGood LA. “The Black community in Altadena shares a rich, historic, and resilient legacy, one spanning multiple generations,” the fundraiser explained. “They paved a way for themselves through the Great Migration, segregation, redlining, and more to establish a community where their families could build, grow, and celebrate life together. Now, generations later they face an unimaginable tragedy brought on by the LA county wildfires.”
