Brangelina Donates $500,000 to Joplin, Missouri

by at .

Once again, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated a large chunk of change to a very good cause.

In this case, it's $500,000 to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks to assist the residents of Joplin, Missouri, whose town was destroyed by a tornado last month.

“With the devastating loss of thirty percent of the city, the Joplin community faces great challenges ahead. Having spent much of my childhood there, I know these people to be hardworking, humble and especially resilient,” said Pitt.

Added Jolie: “Our hearts go out to the families in Joplin who have lost so much.”

This isn't the first time this famous pairing has stepped up in the name of disaster relief. They gave $1 million to support rebuilding efforts in Haiti last year.

    That's wonderful! And it's not like the tornadoes in Alabama were more destructive and killed more people or anything. Not at all. But apparently victims from Alabama are illiterate and backwards so we don't get any money from the golden couple. Sucks for us.

    True charity does not need to be reported. The real news don't report them because they are out reporting real charitable people not ones who have to take out billboards everytime they give to charity.
