Hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs is setting aside his bling-bling on November 2 to raise $1 million for New York City's school kids. Combs, who's been training for the grueling 26.2-mile New York marathon, will divide the money among the city's public schools, the Children's Hope Foundation, which supports families affected by HIV and AIDS, and Combs's own charity, Daddy's House Social Programs. "I'm especially earmarking donations made to public schools to improve or create libraries and technology centers," Combs says.
