Brad Pitt, family give $1M to Missouri hospital

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Brad Pitt and his siblings have given $1 million to help a Missouri hospital open a new pediatric cancer center that will be named for their mother.

Pitt and his siblings' families, Doug and Lisa Pitt and Rob and Julie Neal, gave the money to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Mo., on Saturday in honor of their mother's passion for children's issues.

The hospital is opening the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center this summer in the town where Pitt and his siblings grew up. The donation will pay to hire the only pediatric oncologist and hematologist in the southwest Missouri region.

The new center will make St. John's one of six affiliates of St. Jude's Children's Research in Memphis, Tenn., meaning the center will be able to participate St. Jude's clinic research trials.

  • Feeling so so sorry for Brad's mum - having to stand next to that skunk - it is written all over her face who she is. Am so sympathising with Pitt's parents, hopefully things will get fair with time.

  • I think there is a reason why Jolie is being hated so much - actually, many reasons. They are all true, that is why.

  • Applauding to Brad's mum for being able to compose herself and not slapping that whore next to her which ruins everything on her way. her producing kids doesn't make her anything different.

  • Wow, so what they donate 1 out of 200 million they have?? Why is that so big, because they still keep the other 199 million to themselves, which they only earned by posing as phoneys in low rated movies?

  • Yeah, right, Brad's mum does look so so relieved and honoured to be stuck with this whore now to who she only has to be civil, to that taker of her son from a happy family. Well done Angelina, so you have Brad's kids - this automatically makes you a...

  • That would never have happened if Brad was married to Jennifer-me-Aniston. She's too selfish. I'm sure they are relieved Brad found a giver, not a taker. They should be honored to have Angelina as a daughter in law and mother of their grandkids....

  • Bill and Jane must be really proud of their kids and their kids’ family. They all have donated money for a good cause and naming it after their parents is just really honorable. They first named the basketball court to their father and now the...
