“My goal is to provide kids with the kind of tools and learning they deserve,” Dr. Dre said in a statement after donating $10 Million to help build a performing arts center at the new Compton High School in his hometown.
“The performing arts center will be a place for young people to be creative in a way that will help further their education and positively define their future.”
Dre’s donation to the new Compton High School comes a few years after he promised to donate all the royalties from his last album, “Compton,” to fund new performing arts and entertainment facility in the city. The musician/mogul announced his plan during an interview with Beats 1 radio Zane Lowe, noting he was working with Compton Mayor Aja Brown.
“I’ve been really trying to do something special for Compton and just couldn’t quite figure out what it was,” Dre said at the time. “She actually had this idea and she was already in the process of working on it. I said, ‘Boom, this is what we should do.'”
