52 Celebrity Charity Stunts
From Celeb Hat Donations to Comebacks for Charity:
Meghan Young — Oct 29, 2009 — Social Good
It’s important to give to the less fortunate, and considering that to celebrities almost everyone is less fortunate, it’s only natural that they would step up and take some action. Some celebs have taken to a cause and become activists, but I want to bring to light those who have charitable celebrities who have decided to head charities, participate for charity, or simply donated to charities.
