Successful filmmaker Tyler Perry will be awarded the Chairman’s Award at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Image Awards.
Chosen by NAACP Board Chairman Julian Bond, the Chairman Award is bestowed in recognition of special achievement and phenomenal public service. Past award recipients include: Bono, U.S. President Barack Obama, Aretha Franklin, The Dave Matthews Band, Aaron McGruder and Janet Jackson.
Tyler Perry’s public service record grows every day. Recently, the actor donated $110,000 and a brand new 15-passenger van to the Atlanta-based homeless shelter Covenant House. In 2009, Perry celebrated the centennial anniversary of the NAACP by donating $1,000,000 to the civil rights organization. Without a doubt, Perry will continue to make huge impressions on and off the screen. Watch for Tyler Perry’s acceptance of the Chairman Award on Fox on February 26.

I believe that our charities reflect our particular episodes of struggle and triumph. I have experienced deprivation of educational choice because of lack of finance, having been slashed in my face, been homeless, discriminated sexually; I favor the Smile Train, the united nhegro college fund, and the Salvation army.
When I can, I contribute to those charities. Now I have a passion for helping youth and sharing the concept of for empowering them and restoring the Spirit God created them with. Their creative Spirit to make their world peaceful and free.
Our youth need that hope within themselves.We need to show them our Love and Support. If the love of God can change someone, then His Lobe that changed me can deliver someone I share His Love with.
Amen.y
