Prince gives $30,000 to my son's elementary school My son goes to Chanhassen Elementary School in Chanhassen Minnesota. It was reported by the school today the following:
Chanhassen Elementary School receives $30,000 gift Every year the Chanhassen Elementary PTO sends letters to local businesses seeking financial support for programs serving the nearly 600 children who attend the school. This year, Paisley Park Corporation responded with the largest yearly local donation ever received by the school: $30,000! Staff and parents were thrilled by the gift which amounts to more than half the school’s instructional budget for the year. Cheers greeted the announcement and then the focus quickly shifted to how to spend the donation most wisely. Principal Helen Merchant and a committee of teachers and parents will seek ideas from staff and then select those suggestions that best meet a variety of student learning needs. The committee will review ideas in academic areas and the arts. All of us in District 112 are grateful to the Paisley Park Corporation for its generosity on behalf of the children of Chanhassen. Prince gives so much to kids. I wish more people knew how much. Thanks Prince & Paisley Park.

Prince is very generous with his tax write-offs. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I'm glad for the charity, it's always a kind gesture on anyones part to donate money to a worhty cause. I seriously doubt he did this just to draw attention away from the Housequake situation, hardly anyone outside of that site and this one's membership really know about it. And yes, it's a nice fat tax write-off. This post has been modified from its original thought. It has been formatted to fit into the space and run in the time allotted. | |

that's cool. good on him! it may be a nice little tax write off but there are ther ways to get those. at least a bunch of kids can have a chance at a better education. and notice the difference between prince's pr people's handling of this and j. lo's peeps handling of her weekly charity show on "access hollywood." | |

Oh yeah, that 30K will make such a difference with the $$ he made this year. Must be sad to be so cynical about someone who you spend so much of your time on.... btw...right on Prince, good for you, I'm sure the school and students appreciate it!!! [Edited 10/2/04 3:14am] | |

Actually I'm still pissed about the whole "sue every single Prince site" thing. This is different. Prince is giving back to a place he lives. This doesn't happen that often. It's much appreciated, but this whole sue-happy thing has got to stop. "So strange that no one stayed at the end of the Parade..." - Wendy & Lisa's "Song About" on their 1987 self-titled album.

Eventhough the donation is a good tax write off, I still think that his donation is great deed b/c many schools and school district have lost funding. Three Cheers for P. | |

although maybe this is more appropriate: some_other_guy said: And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves. for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

----- Relax. It appears Housequake.com has reached an agreement with the Purple One. Good News! Housequake & the Prince/NPGMC Lawfirm DWT, has found an agreement with each other, and things will be as it ever was on Housequake.com very soon. Ofcourse without the bootleg Trading activities and without any illegal photo's posted from Prince's latest Tour. So expect everything to be as normal. And maybe something real cool will happen here in the furture. So hold on to your wigs! But most of all our deepest respect to all of you here defending/protecting us wherever & whenever they could. And that is a really really cool & pleasant thing, to find out you are not alone. The Housequake team http://www.housequake.com...adid=30892 | |

[Edited 10/2/04 3:14am] If you look you can find a snake under every stone, but its still sometimes cool/ sometimes not so cool people use fame to get money to give donations, for some to better the image of themselve, but actually I do not hear Prince braggin about what he gives. But sometimes you wonder where does the L4OA money go? I mean away from P it would have been cool to have a site showing where the $ goes! | |

This is so cool- and totally made me all warm inside! "It's only been an hour since you left me, but it feels like a million days...... I'd crawl on my belly and beg you but you're so far away." | |

 You go, Prince! That was a very nice thing you did, I know the parents and teachers of Chanhassen Elementary School appreciate it very much.
Hey Prince, I'm inbetween jobs and low on cash. Think you could loan me some $$$$ to tide me over until I find a job? Just kidding.
THREE CHEERS FOR PRINCE!!!!! RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
