Brangelina Donates $500,000 to Joplin


Brangelina Donates 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.
