Sean “Diddy” Combs Helps Save Boys & Girls Club Of Harlem
Hip-Hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is being credited
with “saving” The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem New York, with
a charitable donation that will help the organization’s operational
budget.
The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem announced that Diddy gave
a “remarkable” donation to the organization that helps mentor
and guide young people in the community, regardless of their circumstances.
The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem, New York, was facing budgetary
constraints due to shifts in federal, state and private funding.
According to Willie C. Bentley, Jr., Board Member and Resource
Development Chair of The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem, Combs’ donation
came at exactly the right time.
“Mr. Combs’ contribution comes at a time when we
were faced with the possibility of eliminating existing programs and/or club
sites,” Willie C. Bentley Jr. told AllHipHop.com. “One hundred
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.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs grew up in Harlem, and has often
credited the local community with influencing his artistic vision.
