Prince Gives Back
Kids in one Columbia, South Carolina neighborhood now have a greater chance at landing themselves a higher education — and they all have Prince to thank for that!
The purple bandit may not be paying a slew of concert promoters, but he is forking out $250,000 to the non-profit group Eau Claire Promise Zone — an organization which has a mission of “building an enduring pipeline to success for all children in the Promise Zone through community leadership, partnerships, coordination and action.”
Here’s ECPZ’s statement in response to Prince’s generosity:
“PRINCE and the New Power Generation donate $250,000 to the efforts of enriching lives and empowering futures!”
The Eau Claire Promise Zone is a 12-neighborhood area that is part of the nationwide “Promise Neighborhoods” movement, modeled after the work of Geoffrey Canada and his Harlem Children’s Zone.
All proceeds from Mr. Gerber will be donated to dental charities!
this guy just need to make good music, his last fuckin 4 albums are unbearable to listen too.
