OPRAH POURS A MILLI INTO STEDMAN’S HOMETOWN: TV mogul donates to an educational scholarship fund for youth

Oprah Winfrey has pledged $1 million to an educational scholarship fund for the youth of Whitesboro, New Jersey, the hometown of her longtime boyfriend, Stedman Graham.

 

      On Saturday, the couple attended Whitesboro’s 20th Reunion Festival, where Winfrey served as the keynote speaker. 

 

      “I’m committed to help him help this community,” Winfrey told the crowd, as Graham stood next to her. “Today I’m contributing $220,000 as my first installment in a $1 million plan for the educational scholarship fund of Whitesboro. Keep dreaming ladies and gentlemen, keep dreaming.”      

       During her speech, Winfrey spoke of how Graham reminisced about his hometown of Whitesboro when they began dating and how he wanted the town to be all it could be. She said he worked to get sidewalks, street lights, a baseball field and a community center built in the town.
