Beyonce Donates 4 Million Dollars to Drug Rehab Programs
Beyonce has made an incredibly generous donation of 4 million dollars for drug rehab programs via Phoenix House. This was the money she made starring in her latest movie which was about the life of Etta James . Etta James was a singer with a serious drug addiction. Phoenix House is the drug rehabilitation centre that Beyonce was at while studying for the acting role.
Phoenix Center has almost 100 programs in the US and they include both residential as well as outpatient therapy clinics for drug rehabilitation. Etta James had a heroin problem as well as some criminal activity history.
Beyonce’s generosity was in the news in past for her donation of $100,000 for the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund after the hurricane Ike hit Galveston and other towns in Texas.
It is awesome that Beyonce Knowles was so moved by the stories and people she met at Phoenix House to donate her entire salary from the movie Cadillac Records for this cause of addiction rehabilitation. She obviously is not just giving lip service to this important cause but it is from the heart. Phoenix House has been around for forty years and is well established in it’s mission for helping people regain health from drug addictions that are destroying their lives. Beyonce is an authentic person and her gesture will effect both addicts and non-addicts for years to come.
