12/26/2012
. Pop star Rihanna has donated $1.75 million to a Barbados hospital to "give back" to the country and honor the memory of her grandmother.

"I believe that this will have a huge impact on the people of Barbados. This was all done to save lives or at least extend them."

The hospital's radiotherapy unit has been renamed the Clara Braithwaite Center for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine in honor of Rihanna's grandmother who died in June after a long fight with cancer, according to BBC.
