Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Donate One Million Dollars

Brad and Angelina's foundation, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, has donated over $1 million to children affected by the Iraq war both abroad and here in the U.S. With $500,000 for school supplies and education programs for refuge children in Iraq and $500,000 for American children who have either lost a parent in the Iraq war or have a parent currently serving in that country, they continue their philanthropic dedication to causes important to helping children in our world. Here in the U.S. those funds will be used to support YMCA tutoring programs under the Armed Forces YMCA Operation Hero initiative. Brad and Angelina gave over $8 million to their foundation in 2006 and it would appear that their giving in 2008 will continue on the same generous path.
