Every single kid who finish my program will go to college for FREE! #Tryingtomakeadifference @LJFamFoundation
— LeBron James (@KingJames) August 13, 2015
LeBron “King” James is putting his money where his mouth is. The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar is teaming up with the University of Akron and Chase Bank to give 1,000 inner city kids a free ride to college as long as they meet the requirements of his I Promise program!
The Akron, Ohio-based program is part of The LeBron James Family Foundation. James, who has three children of his own with wife Savannah, told ESPN:
“I think it’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever been apart of, this is very special to me. As a kid growing up in the inner city and as an African American kid, you don’t really think past high school because it’s not possible or your family can’t support you. For us to be able to do something like this … it means so much.”
James’ pledge to send 1,000 kids to college for free is a very generous offer considering a year’s tuition at the University of Akron costs $9,500.
We are proud to partner with President Scarborough, @uakron & @Chase for our kids & their future #IPROMISE #LJFFCOE pic.twitter.com/2PLZCClU5f

LMBO. I’ve forgotten a lot of what I learned. My country hometown didn’t offer foreign languages in high school, so I was way behind in the game. I was able to hold my own when we went to Cabo though.
Mornting hun!
I have a 7/11 across the street – its ALWATS full of bums and meth heads (and this is a “nice” part of town) – I hate meth heads they always talking chit – I taunt them – be like shut up meth head.. they get sooooo angry when you call them that – start slurring and nodding… ha ha ha let me go phuck with some now… be right back….

The Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Office announced the charges against 42-year-old Alexis Staton of Capitol Heights on Thursday.

And this ^^^^^ gonna be the reason @disqus_NmdlbcmU0O:disqus gonna wake up to Grits surprise ….lololol!
EXACTLY….I felt bad…because I didn’t feel bad.. I don’t want anybody child dying senseless…but my BLACK POWER rose up in me…and I was almost like….IDGAF…am I wrong????
Between that and all the gay kids I’m starting to think there really is an agenda.
My ex pissed me off that day. Went to sporting goods store and got mace and a bat. He was messed up for a minute. Stole ALOT of money from me. That was beginning of the end. That incident.
Me and Mr watched and I kept sipping my tea! That dude was committing a crime and tried to pull off, you know he was wrong when the YT cops were like he tried to murk the officer and we gave him every chance to comply.
doing GREAT!!!!! just waiting on this meeting/ finishing up some paperwork…
I know…but what do you reaaallly expect from me? ROFL!!
Mannnnnnn the image I have of this?! MADE.MY.MORNING!!!!
Uhh, yep. The worst lol. Specially on tuhday
Nope!
Hahaha! Hot grits ain’t no joke…
Don’t I know it!! I am so glad I don’t have to travel it anymore! Im 7 minutes away from work!
lol..I would hope..Damn…if I got to beat ninja you got to go.
:fistbump: that’s exactly how I feel… how many black mothers/fathers have we seen crying over their child being “murdered”…yeah I said it!!! by cops…but let that had of been Ray-Ray….and he just standing there….SEE I DONE PHUCKED AROUND AND GOT MAD!!!! lmao
I don’t blame you, Sis. Stealing a penny is too much, so if he stole the kind of money that folds, I would’ve beat him like he stole something. Literally.
Things I think about when I am on hold. What is the difference between Gospel Jazz and regular Jazz?
Calm it!!
It’s friday … lolol but I feel you.
I said how many black people has that family heard about being murdered by the police and they said “serve them niggahs right?” all good until Billy is dead for a lil weed
I’m great…no complaints…Nope other than hanging with my mamma…lol..she starts school next week, wants to get supply for her kids and new outfits…smh
Damn Daquan don’t want me to enjoy the jiggle…THIS NINJA GOTS TO GO!
Just rub it in, why don’t ya? Going to work is 10-15 minutes. Leaving work is about an hour. These apartments right next to my office are looking real appealing right now.
Go LeBron!!!! Nigga slowly been getting sexy and ish. The older men get, the better looking they become. So weird.
Hi P-B….at first I laughed when they started this whole “gay agenda”….but nah!!!!
Yall women can be a tad crazy. Saw my cousin confront her husband about cheating. He didn’t want to talk about it in front of folks so he kept ignoring her. Until she hit upside the head with a hot iron and dared him to hit her back.
I just grabbed my keys to leave and told her to call me if she needed bail money. Her husband beat me to my car….
We taking the little one to a water park. Doing 3 nights… lordt help us all. I registered him for Kindergarten yesterday!
I was strong though
AWW….The stinka is going to school now..mines is next year….**sads** but that daycare…YASSSSSS
I was ON the blog back then. Aroth can recall this here mess. You will not play with my kids or my money. Will get touched. I promise you will.
you was having a race and ain’t even know !!
My grandma, DF, and I were talking about this yesterday. Grandma said that saying “pour hot grits on him” came from the fact that women did used to do that a lot back in the day ??. I was like “She hit him with a classic huh grammy?”
Off Topic!!!!!

He shoulda left first sign of trouble
MR Z had to replace a WHOLE BEDROOM DOE’..that I kicked in….I WILL NOT BE IGNORED DAN!!! #playwitit #VIRGOSHYT
This is a great thing he’s doing. Kudos to him. If I had a hall pass I’d head straight for LeBron…I just want to see it. Just look ?…maybe cop a feel… Yeah, anyway, I hope more people that have the means choose to follow his example with meaningful charitable donations.
My dude did that ONCE…I did my NOLA accent ” UH..WAT A MINUTE HOE, WAT YOU MAYNE SHHH?”
I kept telling him that he knew she won’t wrapped too tight. Then he gonna look at me like, Nigga Help Me. Fool, she just hit you. In the head. With a HOT A$$ IRON. I’m out….
But that grammar doe……
This is fantastic! ??
And he saw Jesus afterwards….Grits saves lives.
Oh I’m tuning in! Well, I was gonna tune in anyway, but yeah I’m here for boff of them. I like Remy and Papoose’s hood azzes. Power couple and ish. LOLOL
*real tears*
You didn’t have a Lebron gif? Like the one of him in the hot tub?
we all gotta go sometimes….TUH
????????? Right on brotha ?
WHALE ..I mean in his defense high school wasn’t a priority for him.
That’s a blessing. I hope all of those children in his program complete the program so they can secure their tuition, gratis.
I HATE THAT I LOVE YOU….LMBAO!!!!
see my above comment…
……………………
Charlemagne gave her the Donkey of the Day…
ROFL!!!
MR told me to “be quiet” ONE time…and u would have thought he had slapped me….I turned into the Incredible Hulk/ that damn girl from the Exorcist….AT THE SAME DAMN TIME!!!!
I mean I wanted to know…
yes….because they stick to you…
Hey Sexxi…..how r the Dragons???
he azz shold did get “get right” real quick
I KNOW THAT EVERY-THANG
GONNA BE ALRIGHT
HE’S COMING BACK
LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD
I’ve never beat up a man but my girl threw a plate like a frisby at her baby daddy cause he was talking chit and it connected and knocked out his teefus….
I watched his foundation do over one little girl’s home who participate in his organization on a couple of episodes of Rehab Addict and it was very touching. I’m glad to see someone in his position give back to his community. It’s a wonderful thing…keep up the good work Mr. King James!
testing
Yeeesss!!! Nah what was EYE saying… OH YEAH
like I am a SW…and there are certain things that u have to do…like take your damn drug classes/ and then we have some apartements out here and I help to get “qualifying veterans” in them…who are SANGLE…the MF’s will have they damn crackhead hoes/ or some random laying up in there…HELL NAWL….and I also deal with a lot of them with mental issues/ or will try to get more drugs…or be claiming disabled and al kinds of BS….
I’ve always like LeBron off the court. On the court I can’t stand him….
Picture it – Sicily 1942.
This explains why she had that recent “child custody – woman beater” issue… these mofo’s have no shame in their quest for dolluhs… just exploit any situation for a storyline… she didn’t have to go through all that what she fails to understand is her face IS the storyline…
OK GUYS!!!! really enjoyed you guys this morning…gotta hit the Dollar sto”…a bish snacks done got low….and 1 mtg/ and I’m out….
Love u guys…and PLZ pray for Z20 and his friend safe travels…
OAN:: MR Z just called me…trying to act like he ain’t excited cause our Man-Child coming home… I could hear his tail smiling though the phone…
GO OUT AND SUPPORT THE NWA MOVIE!!!!
GOD BLESS!!!!…turns off puter’
We are just fine thanks..
*WHEN THE PRAYERS GO UP….THE BLESSINGS COME DOWN*
Love ya!!! *poof*
That’s awesome
??????
See Ya love…Prayers and safe travels for my step son! lol
This is a wonderful gesture, but I wonder how much of his money he is actually using. After all, the article says he has partnered with the University of Akron and Chase Bank.
Sooo..I do something nice for 6’6 since he does alot for me(paid for my MRI, gave 400 to get my car fix and keep my nails and feet did). I made him steak steamed broccoli and twice baked potatoe, got him a gram of gas and gave my bosses head snd rode him to sleep last night. Dis ninjah didn’t let me go all night!I felt like meat in a burrito! His big tall self all wrapped around me lolol GOT EM haha GOT EEEMMM!!!
Morning Sandra …. morning roses
Good Morning. This sounds so great and similar to non profit our company is attempting to set up. But I would to help homeless kids and familirs!! But sending kids to college is essential to their future.
Ot didn’t comment yesterday based on hand cramps from filing out school papers for kiddos. It was 6 pages long for 3 kids 18 pages of school forms. It has to be a better way we can provide this information without getting hand cramps.
Plus I am off to Vegas on Sunday..
There has to be a better way especially when filling out forms for multiple kids.
That’s awesome. Morning Everyone have a great one.
GM yall
Mawning Wut!
I miss you already.. We got to stop this hitting and missing.. I’se sad. Hey bew!!!
Awwww. Let me know how he likes it.
Hey boo!
Hey shooggahh *puts my face betwixt your hoohaaz and motorboat yah!! BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
milkywhiteandeverythingnice….morning
morntine sassafrass
Jennnnaaayyy!!!!
Whats Up Jeanee…***old southern YT lady voice**
I blacked out once and pummeled Lil Butter’s bio before he could figure out what happened. We were having an argument, and he threw his hand up while saying he didn’t want to talk about it anymore. Unfortunately for him, he grazed my face and knocked my earring out. We were in the car, and I jumped across that center console and tore him up before I could think that maybe it was a mistake. Nah, he deserved it. No one hits anyone by mistake.
They need to make it electronic for those who have access.
That’s why he’s looking for houses RAT NIE! LMBO
OOOOOHHH WIIIIIITTTAYYYY! I got my mojo back!
Buttah I didn’t say I wasn’t a good girlfriend! I said i am not ready to be a good wifey (live in girlfriend) I was hoping he saw he has it good just like it is…He wasn’t looking for houses last night though!
Heyyyyyy Wut. Sitting and waiting on one of your stories
Big ups to Lebron! You can talk about his hairline or his on the court antics, but you can’t tell me that the man doesn’t love his kids or his foundation work. More hardworking men like this please
awwwww…….way to go LeBron. please feel free to sit in on an English class or two, though. proper subject & verb agreement will take you far……….just as D. Wade did. *sips tea*
This is great. We are blessed to be a blessing to others.
Lol,well when you hit that Jack pot…remma BLOG friends are like REAL FRIENDS!!!you just don’t see us everyday!!!!I don’t want a whole lot…just enuff to buy sum shares in PUBLIX!:)
Hey Bew
Owwwww
YES…JIGGLE the chocolate pillows
I love it! ! I wished they would do that in nyc
HE’S NOT MY FAVORITE, BUT HE GIVES BACK AND STAYS OUTTA TROUBLE…WHINES A LIL TOO MUCH BUT HEY! THIS IS A GOOD LOOK!
Mawnin Rosary. Good job LJ. Money well spent.
Good job Lebron. Stories like this warm my heart and make me smile.
This is awesome.
Love this
Great news. I doubt he’s spending outta his pocket though. It’s probably more like the university waiving tuition or granting “scholarships.” The kids transitioning from Lebron’s program to the college benefits them and the press will eat it up.
No I’m not being negative. This really is a good thing he’s taking part in.
That’s alright..coming from a Hawks fan I respect that. It makes me wonder has Jordan done anything like this.. I’m not throwing shade, I just haven’t done the research.
Crazy huh, the school finally has an app for grades, attendance and more BUT we cant change the info. If we can log on and complete info we can save the trees!!! LMAO
You are so funny. My cheap azz will play $20 bc I never win!! If I dont win I am gone. We have Casinos here and I dont play just drink the free drinks. Plus if I ca hit it big I am going incognegrow (my word) on my winnings. HAHA
A business trip Magic Show in Vegas so my plan is to ditch my boss. Head to the hotel pool with sunhat and suntan(yes I am black and use it) lotion and order Drinks with Umbrellas!! No kids and I am not driving I plan on Turning It UP!! Lmao
You are guys are the best blog friends to have!! *hugging computer screen*
It is they have an App and wont allow us to update info!!
Way to go Bonnie. I am loving him since his maturing. Good stuff
I really appreciate this….now can I get that in writing….lol
Sounds great..happy to see we are helping our own for a change..okay diddy…50…Wayne…your turn..
Is it 500 or 1000? Other media reports 500.
I guess it’s a good thing, hard to be sure these days when a college degree seems so useless. Having the college experience/degree does feel great/accomplished, but seems like a better preparation for youth of the future is straight out of high school internships or volunteering and tons of references so they can meet the oh so dreaded job application “experience” requirement, backed with just one of those career training certificate programs. But maybe the world will get better and university will win back its place over career certificates and experience.
I like how he got our babies in the front too! Gone LeBron!!
I like how he got our babies in the front too! Gone LeBron!!
That’s wassup.
My boo ?? he continues to impress me
Good for him… take note other so called “billionaires!”
Way to give back! 5 Thumbs up Mr.James
$36,000,000!!!
IF all the kids finish.
AWESOME !!!!!!!!
