Matt Damon sets up children's charity
Filed under: Life & Style, Celeb Parents, In The News, Going Green, That's Entertainment, Resources
Matt Damon is the next celebrity to invest in some good old fashioned charity work, this time by working on his children's charity. The Departed star, who recently piled on 30 pounds for The Informant, is taking the summer off to lose the weight and get the charity rolling.
The charity is to be called the One X One Foundation. Its mission is to support, improve and preserve the lives of children in Canada and around the world. According to Damon, singer Sheryl Crow is set to play at one of the Foundation's events. Earlier this year pal Ben Affleck (and daddy) recently hosted an inaugural event.
Says Damon, who is a daddy himself, making calls for the Foundation are "...easy."

Paul said...I think alot of people are a little cynical when it comes to celebrities and their charity ventures, but I think anything that is going to raise the profile of any charity, and help people less fortunate, especially children, can only be a good thing
