Tyler Perry Keeps His Word
Isn’t it amazing what a little caring can do? After being snubbed by a Philadelphia swim club, 65 children were treated to a day at Disney by uber-director, Tyler Perry. Good sh*t. See this, Soulja Boy? When you want someone to talk about what you do, you show it. Talk is cheap. Read the article after the break!
Source: Actor Tyler Perry is making it a summer to remember for a group of Philadelphia kids by taking them to the happiest place on earth, Walt Disney World.
The actor paid for 65 children from a Philadelphia day camp run by Creative Steps Inc. to go to Walt Disney World after reading about allegations that a suburban swim club, The Valley Club in Huntingdon Valley, had shunned them because of racism.
The Valley Club in Huntingdon Valley has maintained that refunding the camp’s swimming fee was not about race but rather a safety issue, in part because many children couldn’t swim.
Perry is best known for his signature character Madea, a big-hearted but foul-tempered grandmother.
