I thought it would be cool to let you know about some famous celebrities and their charities. Patrick Dempsey, from Gray's Anatomy, I learned last night from his appearance on Extreme Homemakeover Edition, is actively involved in charities for cancer. He even has a center named after himself called The Patrick Dempsey Cancer Center for Cancer Hope and Healing. Go to dempseycenter.org for details.
Pop star Rihanna started her own foundation called Believe which provides financial and educational resources for children. Visit her website believerihanna.com for more information.
Actress Jenny McCarthy started her own charitable organization called Generation Rescue which raises awareness about autism, the same disorder that affects her son Evan and hundreds of other chidlren through out the US. Her website is www.generationrescue.org. What do you think about celebrities using their fame to assit a charity or start their own? Is this a good or a bad thing?
I think the fact that they are acually doing good is great, in no way is it a bad thing. They deffinitly have the means too do what a lot of us can't, and therefore should. I do question Dempsey's motives seeing as the cancer center is named after him.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is a great thing. They have more money than most of us do, and therefore they can make a bigger difference than we can in most cases. However, I see examples of money donations, but do they ever donate their time? Do they get up, go out in the world, and work to help others? Just a thought...
