Celebs Who Fight Causes for the Good of Others

4. Madonna Raises Malawi

The Material Girl is more than a flashy and risqué artists who lives off of shocking the media and fans. Madonna actually has a huge heart, and she never hesitates to give back in a major way. The singer raised over $7.5 million to help the people of Malawi, a country in southeastern Africa. Malawi holds a special place in her heart because it’s the same country where she met, fell in love, and adopted her son David from one of the country’s orphanages. Madonna was able to raise the funds at Art Basel in Miami Beach, by auctioning off a few of her prized possessions including tour costumes, and a photo from her wedding to ex-hubby Sean Penn. She then took the stage and performed for those in attendance. With the funds, Madonna and her charity, Raising Malawi, hope to build a pediatric surgery and intensive care unit in the impoverished country.
