Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are famous for their global philanthropic efforts, but they’ve recently decided to bring it on home.  The couple, along with Brad’s family, have made a $1 million donation to St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Missouri.

The funds will help the hospital to expand the hospital’s cancer treatment programs, and

will help establish an endowment fund to pay children’s cancer specialists. The donation will also help the hospital build a new pediatric unit, as well as double the size of its neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.

Brad was raised in Springfield.  The unit will be renamed the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, in honor of Brad’s mother.

How generous!  I personally think this kind of philanthropy is more meaningful than all the money they give overseas.  And what a way to honor his mom.  Bravo, Brangelina!
