Diddy Saves Boys & Girls Club By Making HUGE Donation

Sean (Diddy) Combs stepped in as a local hero and saved the the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem from going under by donating an emergency $60,000.

The nonprofit was making tough decisions between closing one of its operations or cutting back on sports and tutoring, according to the New York Daily News.

That's when Diddy saved the day:

"Being from Harlem, I heard they needed help, and I wanted to help," Diddy told the Daily News. This "is something that I am proud to do."

The contribution will make a world of difference. Boys & Girls Club board member Willie C. Bentley, Jr. said the funds will do directly support kids, Access Hollywood reports.

"100% 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," Boys & Girls Club board member Willie C. Bentley, Jr. said in a statement to Access Hollywood on Wednesday.
