Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry sends kids who were snubbed by swim club to Disney World They’re going to Disney World – and it’s all thanks to Tyler Perry. After learning that 65 kids from a minority Pennsylvania day care center were turned away by a mostly white swim club, Perry is sending the snubbed youngsters to the happiest place on Earth.
The beloved playwright is footing the entire bill for the kids from the Creative Steps day care center in suburban Philadelphia, including their airfare, food, accommodations and admissions for a three-day visit in sunny Orlando, after the children were kicked out of the Valley Swim Club in Huntingdon Valley, Penn., on June 29.
Perry, 39, in such stage and screen hits as "Medea Goes to Jail" and "Meet the Browns," recalls seeing one of the Creative Steps kids crying on the news about being shunned and humiliated at the club. CNN reported some of the children complained that white club members made racist comments to them.
