Combs saves hometown club
Combs saves hometown club_DIDDY SAVES HARLEM BOYS & GIRLS CLUB WITH SIZABLE DONATION , Diddy does some good in his native hometown of Harlem, N.Y. The rap mogul has rescued the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem from closing it doors with a sizable donation.
A representative for the Harlem facility of the BGC wouldn’t disclose how much of a gift Diddy gave to them but he insists that it was large enough for them to continue providing their services. “Mr. Combs’ contribution comes at a time when we were faced with the possibility of eliminating existing programs and/or club sites,” said Willie C. Bentley, Jr. Board Member and Resource Development Chair via a statement. “100 percent of Mr. Combs’ contribution will go directly to the young people, and provide educational, recreational and social enrichment programs allowing us to move forward as a club, uninterrupted.”
Diddy’s contribution will significantly help with the organization’s operations budget, which has been severely cut due to enormous strains in the federal, state and private funding. The Boys & Girls Club is an organization dedicated to helping the youth and providing a sanctuary for creativity and positive reinforcements in local communities.
Way to go Diddy! We salute you for your altruistic gift to the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem.
