Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Build a Playground for Disadvantaged Kids
September 16, 2008 by lkatulka
Celebrity parents Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are set to commence their first major charity project. The Richie-Madden Foundation plans to build a playground at Beyond Shelter, a low-income housing project in Los Angeles. Currently the site has 175 kids, and no recreational facilities.
“We hope our support will shine a spotlight on important issues facing children and will inspire and educate the public, especially young people, to get involved, too,” Nicole and Joel said in a joint statement. “We want to do more than write checks.”
They also want you to help too. To donate $5 to the project, grab your cell phone and text CHILD to 90999. The money will then be deducted on your next bill.
