Kevin Hart Calls On His Friends To Donate To Red Cross
With Hurricane Harvey coming in strong and devastating pictures circulating the internet, many look to celebrities and their deep pockets for some contributions. Kevin Hart took to his Instagram on Monday to start a “Hurricane Harvey Relief Challenge,” inspired by all of the other challenges people on IG and Twitter partake in every day.
Hart explains that he is donating $25,000 to Red Cross for Hurricane Harvey relief, and urges all of his celebrity friends to do the same. He specifically calls out The Rock, Beyonce, Chris Rock, Jay Z, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Harvey, and Justin Timberlake.
DJ Khaled quickly followed suit a few hours after Kevin posted his challenge, confirming that he will be following suit and donating $25,000 himself.
T.I. and Chris Brown also jumped in head first with their generous donations, but both expressed weariness about Red Cross and urged Hart to find another organization to give the money to. Brown decided to up the anti and give $100,000 to the people.
It’s great to see celebrities coming together to help for a greater cause. Surely more and more will follow suit in making big donations, which will help Hurricane Harvey victims get back on their feet more quickly once the weather subsides.
