G-Unity Gives To The Foundation Of Second Chances

by REIGN

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2007

G-Unity, the G-Unit Foundation that donates to life changing organizations, helped impact a program in a very positive way. The Foundation for Second Chances, a non-profit organization that that seeks to improve the quality of the education provided to today’s youth, recently announced a series of improvements it was able to implement with funds from a G-Unity Foundation grant. In 2006, 50 Cent’s charitable organization delivered a $10,000 grant to the FFSC as part of its mission to help non-profits that focus on improving the quality of life for low-income and underserved communities. The FFSC today reports that the grant has allowed them to expand the after school programs they offer, hire new staff and eventually double the number of students they could reach. “We are extremely grateful to the G-Unity Foundation for this critical grant, which has enabled us to put down organizational roots and to offer critical life skills to fifteen additional youth in our community,” stated Melissa Wyatt, FFSC Executive Director. “We have learned a great deal through our relationship with the foundation and look forward to continuing our partnership to improve quality of life in our neighborhoods.”

i think this speaks something aboout 50 cent, his role in the media is this gangster image thats not supposed to care about people, he sisnt have to give money tom keep up his persona, but he did, thats a point up in my book

cosign to Havana2Bueno, he didnt actually give the money now. If u read the article, it states he gave the money in 2006 so its like they are thanking him for the impact the money has made. I dont really like 50 but I am happy that he spreads his money to the less priviledged people and I hope he keeps doing more of that!!!

Grow up. He didn't have to donate a damn cent but he did out of kindness and compassion. $10,000 is still a whole lot of money when it's used for the right reasons. They've said that it had an impact and that's a start. I'm sure that Fif will donate more in the future if he sees that his money is going towards a genuinely good cost. Giving a charity $1,000,000 the firt time around is like buying your child a
Rolls Royce as their first car. It just doesn't work when you're trying to promote Hard Work. You two guys may need to get familiar with the meaning of the phrase.

Shaman, this may be the first time on defsounds dat I am going at somebody but I think u got me wrong. Me personally, God knows that if I had what 50 has, I will definitely donate more than $10,000 cos the organization will definitely need more than that. Its not like they are taking care of a few people. There are many people that they have to use that money on. If he gave $50,000, I will not have had that feeling but I guess I understand your point where u said that its like buying a child a Rolls Royce. But as long as he keeps giving, I'm cool cos I'm all about giving too the hood/community in general...peace

Not a 50 fan but these are the things i'd like to hear him talk about more than how much money he has. Good for you Curtis. The hoods need artist to put more money back into the neighborhoods.
