ABOUT Dolph Day

Dolph Day is a day of service to honor the legacy of late rap artist Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., aka “Young Dolph.” The initiative is hosted by the IdaMae Family Foundation, named in honor of Dolph’s Grandmother Ida Mae. The foundation was founded by her offspring to continue her legacy, and now his legacy of philanthropy, volunteerism, and service.

The Ida Mae Family Foundation creates programs, events and services specifically for areas in the surrounding communities of Castalia Heights in Memphis, Tennessee and the Auburn Gresham and Washington Heights communities in Chicago, Illinois.
