Tyler Perry is something like a superman these days. Just last year the Atlanta-based movie mogul pledged a million dollars to the NAACP and now he’s coming to the rescue of a few local Atlanta cub scouts.
Thieves recently hauled away trailers belonging to a DeKalb County Cub Scout troop. Someone took two trailers loaded with scout camping equipment from the parking lot of Clairmont Hills Church. Cub Master Derek Bell says he believed someone hooked up their truck to the trailers and just drove off. “Tents, sleeping bags, cooking gear, stoves, tarps, everything you would need to take 30 to 40 people camping,” was stolen and several disappointed Cub Scouts were left with nothing.
Perry saw the story and called Channel 2 Action News on Tuesday morning asking to help and quickly brought back their dreams of a wilderness adventure.
Hours later a representative from Tyler Perry studios presented the scouts with check for $10,000. Studio President Ozzie Areu said the check came from Perry’s personal account.
“Man, I can’t believe Tyler Perry cares for us so much that he would give us that much money,” exclaimed one of the excited cubs. (source)

So nice that he always shares what he’s been blessed with. So happy for the little ones.
I wish he would come back to his hometown (its not New Orleans) and help our school before it closes down. You come and use the schools (elementary, middle, and high) to feed your celebrity guest for your mother’s funeral. Our schools look like 3rd world country standards and anyday we about to find out if they are going to close them down. You know what happens when you close the school down, the town dies and that is actually what the whites want to happen. So giving a million dollars to NAACP and helping some girl scouts…..whatever….start at home!
Go Mr. Perry!
i think people like him need to stay away from children’s organizations. it has been said that he admitted to sexual abuse, and if he knows one of the psychological aspects of that is that it makes him highly likely to be an offender also. His best bet is not to have children, and not to be around children.
