Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN Entertainment) - Sandra Bull has donated $1 million to the American Red Cross for the earthquake and tsunami relief efforts in Japan. The 46-year-old actress made the generous donation on behalf of her family.
The contribution from the Academy Award-winning actress is the largest celebrity donation to Red Cross since the catastrophe struck Friday. The organization noted, though, that they also received large contributions that were kept confidential at the donors' request.
Red Cross told CNN, "This contribution is vitally important as the Red Cross works to provide critical assistance and essential relief items in this time of urgent need for so many people in Japan."
This isn't the first time Sandra has opened her wallet for charity. She has donated twice to the Red Cross in the past, the first time to its Liberty Disaster Relief Fund and the second to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunamis.
She also donated another $1 million to Doctors Without Borders last year to aid Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
