Charlie Sheen Donating $1 Million To USO
. The donation marks the largest single contribution ever from an individual to the USO, as well as the first time that the USO is receiving a contribution from an actor's television show proceeds. "The USO would like to thank Charlie Sheen for his very generous $1 million donation to our Operation Enduring Care Campaign and his interest in helping us lift the spirits of those who have endured so much to protect the freedoms we enjoy daily," said General John I. Pray, Jr., Executive Vice President and Joint Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force. "His support is greatly appreciated, especially from our wounded warriors and their families." Sheen will hand over the first installment of $250,000 in a private ceremony later this week with Sloan D. Gibson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the USO. The funds from Sheen's donation will be used towards an entertainment facility for seriously injured military troops in Bethesda, MD.
