Cancer Center Named After Brad Pitt's Mom Opens
The Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center has officially opened.
Thanks to a $1 million donation by Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and his family (Doug and Lisa Pitt and Rob and Julie Neal), children fighting cancer have a new place to be treated in his hometown of Springfield, Mo. Last night, St. John's Hospital dedicated the new facility, which is named after the actor's mother, who still resides in the area. Some 200 guests attended the party, including several patients.
The center, which is affiliated with Saint Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, offers advanced medical care to children with cancer and features a new 31-bed pediatric unit with a 10-bedroom hospital-based Ronald McDonald House.
On Thursday, do-gooder Brad was with Bill Clinton in New York at the 2009 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting. The Make It Right founder was there to give an update on another of his philanthropic efforts -- building energy-efficient homes in New Orleans for people displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

Poor Jennifer, trying to link herself to a father of 6 who dumped her. So what if the cancer is affiliated to her. Go suck yourself Maniston. We are sick of you.

I think that it is very interesting that the cancer center is affiliated with Jennifer's charity Saint Jude's children hospital.I also think it very interesting that Brad and jennifer were on the Oprha show the same week(one of their hookups)

Brad looks good rugged or not. He is still so hot & I can't help myself from staring at his pictures! Ok, I guess he can have Angie..she is pretty too. Best wishes to them and their children. How can Angie does it-being such a great mom, so tall, thin, nice hair skin, lips, great actress, pop kids and instantly look good afterward, rich, rise to bigger fame by donating her time and money to the children of the world and manage to sleep with a hotty like Brad, plus their children are so gorgeous. God is good to these people and I hope their lives is continually being blessed.
