I love when celebrities do things like this. Now that they are successful, giving back to their hometown, a school they went, or someone who made an impact on their lives.
The latest to do this is Cardi B. She had been wanted to go back to her middle school in the Bronx for a while now but Covid restrictions kept postponing it. A few weeks ago she finally got to surprise the school and showed up to a auditorium of screaming middle schoolers.
Cardi told them she is donating $100,000 to the school to create new programs for the kids to help keep them off the streets, out of troubled homes, and set them on a path for success in life.

Since 1950 when they started naming storms 94 hurricanes have had their names retired. Including Sandy and Irene the two big ones that hit around here.
