50 The Philanthropist.

"The G UNITY FOUNDATION in conjunction with Bette Midler’s NEW YORK RESTORATION PROJECT have scheduled the opening of the Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson community garden at Baisley Park in Queens, NY for late October. In addition to Mr. Jackson and Bette Midler, Mayor Bloomberg and other city officials are expected to attend the grand opening. The garden was designed by renowned landscape architect Walter Hood.

The G Unity Foundation granted well over $300,000 in order to create the outdoor children’s learning garden. The Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson Community Garden is located at 117-19 165 Street.

This new outdoor children’s learning garden will serve the Queens neighborhood, which will greatly benefit from revitalized green space. In conjunction with area schools, gardening can be used to teach children a variety of subjects and to strengthen learning in science, math, and language arts. Baisley Park is 15,000 square feet. The neighborhood features only 5% of the recommended amount of outdoor/open space, and there are over 52,000 children in the community who would be benefit from this space."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Listen, whether this is a slickly orchestrated PR move or not, the only thing that matters is that the community wins. Fix up a few parks, clean up a few unnecessary rap "beefs", make some solid songs and you'll be right back in the game homie.
