Enterprise donated $100,000 to Perry’s charity of choice: the Global Medical Relief Fund for Children. This nonprofit provides children — many of them amputees and burn victims who have no local medical resources — with medical care and on-going treatment.
“We are honored to present Tyler Perry with this year’s People’s Choice Award for Favorite Humanitarian, and we thank our partners at Enterprise for their generous donation to the Global Medical Relief Fund on his behalf,” said Fred Nelson, president of the People’s Choice Awards. “Mr. Perry’s decades-long commitment to helping those in need is incomparable, and the GMRF is an amazing organization, dedicated to aiding children in desperate need of care. I’m proud that our show provides a platform for this well-deserved recognition.”
