Adebola Rachael hosted the DETEEBLAZER ABILITY IN DISABILITY (AID) Charity Project on Saturday, October 28, 2024. This year’s initiative, initially planned for February, was postponed due to scheduling conflicts with her Call to Bar ceremony and wedding. However, Rachael remained hopeful, believing that the project would still take place before the end of the year.

The charity event took place at Anglican Girls College Ketu Ijanikin, where a total of ₦1,150,000 (one million one hundred and fifty thousand naira) was donated to 23 students as 50% scholarships for their JSS3 and SS3 WAEC exams, amounting to ₦50,000 each. These 23 students were part of a group of 30 who gained fame for performing the viral song “Lilo Bobo Eda Laye Owo Re Lowa,” originally sung by Governor General.
