A portion of proceeds from the Unlabelled Awards will go to The Butterfli Wings Foundation.  It is one of her most passionate platforms. The Butterfli Wings Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping homeless children reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. Poverty is a huge factor in the lives of children in the United States and the Caribbean, disabling them from attending school. Since 2002, the Butterfli Wings Foundation has worked to help each and every child explore and experience life to their fullest. One of the foundation's most heartwarming accomplishments over the years has been ensuring that as many children as possible on the island of Jamaica receive a gift for the Christmas holiday. 

Philanthropy work is something Butterfli Tia is extremely proud of and is honored to be in a position where she is able to assist others in need.

Tia has long felt that there are many individuals behind the scenes who have worked extremely hard and do not get the recognition they deserve. By creating the Unlabelled Awards, she has created a platform for those unsung heroes. Butterfli Tia attributes her success to a wonderful support system which includes her mother Avis, sons, her daughter Idrissa-Aisha and best friend Marion “Clover” Patterson and Karen “Kay Starr” Smith.
