Ale Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Attention "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" fans: all your hopes and dreams can come true! Karyn Parsons, who played Hilary Banks on the iconic 1990s TV show that starred Will Smith, has started a Kickstarter campaign for her organization, Sweet Blackberry, and it's nothing else if not tempting. Parsons’ motivation is the Janet Collins Story, and her organization's mission is "to bring little- known stories of African-American achievement to kids." Collins, who died in 2003, was the first black prima ballerina and first African-American soloist to perform at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Parsons, 47, is looking for $75,000 to make a 20-minute animated film about Collins to be narrated by comedian-actor Chris Rock. Here's the kicker: the perks are impressive. For $200, you get a voicemail message recorded by Geoffrey the Butler (Joseph Marcell) from the show. For $250, you get a voicemail message from Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith’s wife, or Carlton Banks, who was played by Actor Alfonso Ribeiro. For $500, you get to watch old "Fresh Prince" episodes with the cast. "Vote on favorite episode of the Fresh Prince and GET TWO TICKETS to attend a screening plus Q&A with at least THREE members of the Fresh Prince" cast members, according to Kickstarter. The craziness doesn't end there. For $2,500, you get to go shopping with Parsons and Tatyana Ali, who played Ashley Banks. Don't faint. And you can thank us later.

Jazzy Julie Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I bet one of those 3 cast members aren't Will or i would consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted June 19, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 tempted to get an Alfonso voicemail message! If I wasn't about to lose my job I'd do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevTastic Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Shopping with women is a chore at the best of times. But would love to spend the day with Karyn and Tatyana. Alas i don't have that sort of cash. Sorry to hear about the job situation Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 If the entire cast was gonna be there (of even if it was a few and I knew who), I'd totally drop $500. It would be a sacrifice well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I was looking on the page and for $10,000 you can have dinner with Will and other members of the cast. I really shouldn't spend my life savings on this, maybe another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
