      <title>David Banner Takes Kids to Six Flags</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/2&quot;&gt;Myrlia Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/695-david-banner&quot;&gt;David Banner&lt;/a&gt; provided the opportunity for 80 kids to travel from Jackson, Mississippi to Six Flags in Georgia, as part of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/668-stewpot-neighborhood-childrens-program&quot;&gt;Stewpot Neighborhood Children&amp;#8217;s Program&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The children, who would rarely have the chance to take any trips, were given transportation and admission to the park, t-shirts and food. Banner has sponsored this annual trip since 2005.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The children that we serve at Stewpot would not normally be able to go on an &amp;#8216;out of town&amp;#8217; trip,&amp;#8221; said Stewpot Community Services Counselor, Sherry Adams. &amp;#8220;Most of the kids in the community have not been out of Mississippi. Because of Banner&amp;#8217;s love for our community, he makes it possible for our kids to travel outside of Mississippi, on a fun and exciting summer trip every year. David made it all possible because these kids don&amp;#8217;t have to pay a dime.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The community children&amp;#8217;s program offers safe havens after school and during the summer, and provides educational help, self-esteem building and positive role models. Their after-school program and summer camp help over 200 at-risk youths from Mississippi.&lt;/p&gt;
