Brangelina Donates $1 Million To A Missouri Hospital

 

Over the weekend Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and his family donated $1 million to St. John’s Hospital in Missouri.

According to the Springfield News-Leader the money will establish an endowment fund to pay children’s cancer specialists.

The hospital’s cancer treatment unit will now be renamed the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, in honor of Brad’s mom, who is passionate about children’s issues.

This summer when it’s completed, St. John’s Hospital will become one of six affiliates of the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

The money will also help in building a new pediatric unit which will include a 10-bedroom hospital-based Ronald McDonald house and doubling the size of the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.

St. John’s will be matching the Jolie-Pitt’s $1 million donation to help with the expansion.
