In addition to the success of his new single, MAJOR. was honored with the first annual St. Jude Champions Spirit Award. He expressed deep gratitude for the recognition, especially noting the significance of the award being linked to the legacy of Jeff Grant. “Many of us have committed ourselves to the mission of St. Jude, which provides so much for families and children and is working tirelessly to cure childhood cancer,” MAJOR. shared. He also thanked Neely Dickerson for introducing him to the St. Jude family years ago, emphasizing his continued support for the organization’s work.

However, the celebration was bittersweet for the singer. Just 48 hours after receiving his NAACP Image Award nomination for “I Prayed For You” in the Outstanding Gospel Christian Song category, MAJOR. had to deal with the devastating effects of wildfires in Los Angeles. “It was a heavy time for me,” he said, describing how he struggled with the emotional toll of seeing his community suffering while also celebrating his career achievements. His heart went out to those affected by the fires, and he quickly turned his focus to supporting his community. “My foundation has committed to making sure that we’re an answer and a response to the needs in our community,” he vowed.
