Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Sibs Donate $1 Million to Children’s Hospital
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
When Brad Pitt recently plunked down $1 million for a painting, we actually had a commenter who criticized Brad for waisting money that should have gone to charity. (Oh the haters.) Once again, Brad has shown how generous he is. (Not that he needed to. What he does with his money is his business.)
Brad’s brother Doug Pitt announced last week that the “Brad Pitt family, Doug and Lisa Pitt and Rob and Julie Neal” are donating $1 million to St. John’s hospital in Brad’s hometown of Springfield, Missouri.
St. John will rename the cancer unit in honor of Brad’s mother. The Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center will use the funds to create an endowment that will hire cancer specialists, add additional beds, build a hospital based Ronald McDonald House and increase the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.
Kudos to Angelina, Brad and the entire Pitt family.
