Brad Pitt & Family Donate $1 Million Dollars To Missouri Hospital
Brad Pitt’s brother, Doug, has announced the Pitt family donated $1 million dollars to St. John’s Hospital in his hometown of Springfield Saturday. The money will help establish an endowment fund to pay children’s cancer specialists, the Springfield News-Leader reports and will also go toward building a new pediatric unit, a 10-bedroom hospital-based Ronald McDonald house and doubling the size of the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.

The hospital’s cancer treatment center will be renamed the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, in honor of Brad’s mom, who is passionate about children’s issues. Once completed the hospital will become one of six affiliates of the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

I think it’s awesome that the Pitt family has decided to donate this money to the hospital, so many children will benefit from this. St. John’s will also be matching the $1 million donation.
