Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and his family have made a generous donation of 1 million dollars to a Missouri hospital. The money will establish an endowment fund to pay children's cancer specialists. The donation will also help the hospital build a new paediatric unit, as well as double the size of its neonatal and paediatric intensive care units.

Brad Pitt's brother, Doug, announced that the donation has been made to St. John's Hospital in his hometown of Springfield. The money will establish an endowment fund to pay children's cancer specialists. St. John's is matching the donation to help fund the expansion of the hospital's cancer treatment unit, which will be renamed the Jane Pitt Paediatric Cancer Center, in honour of Brad Pitt's mother.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the parents of six children.
