PHILADELPHIA — Meek Mill, Kevin Hart and Michael Rubin will donate $7 million to Philadelphia-area educational causes, the trio announced Monday, with most of the funds supporting scholarships for low-income students at private schools in the 2023-24 school year.
In addition to the scholarships at 60 "private and parochial schools in need," given to children from low-to-moderate incomes, the donation will also fund laptops, tablets, and WiFi connections, as well as other classroom resources, according to a statement.
Rapper Mill and actor and comedian Hart are from Philadelphia; both attended city public schools. Rubin, the billionaire Fanatics CEO and former Philadelphia 76ers owner, grew up in Lafayette Hill and lives in Bryn Mawr.
