After going a lil' nutso over Ciroc earlier this month, Sean "Diddy" Combs has fallen back into the world's good graces today. Rap Radar reports that he donated funds to help save the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem after learning that its four locations were to be shut down. In fact, he apparently provided enough money to ensure that they'll stay afloat for a while. William C. Bentley, who sits on the board and serves as the center's resource development chairman, issued the following statement on Diddy's assistance:

“Mr. Combs’ contribution comes at a time when we were faced with the possibility of eliminating existing programs and/or club sites. One hundred percent of Mr. Combs’ contribution will go directly to the young people, and provide educational, recreational and social enrichment programs allowing us to move forward as a club, uninterrupted.”
