GLOBAL SUPERSTARS DOING GOOD

In September, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady donated an undisclosed amount to the Florida Disaster Fund to aid victims ravaged by Hurricane Ian. “Our neighbours support us endlessly, it’s time to return the favour,” the seven-time Super Bowl champ said on Twitter.

Hollywood actor Matt Damon is behind water.org, whose mission is to bring clean water to as many people as possible. “For people who grew up like I did with an abundance of water— there’s clean water in my kitchen sink, my bathroom sink, and the water in our toilets is cleaner than the water that 770 million people on this planet have access to—with water, it’s just really hard to relate to,” Damon told Talks at Google.

Alongside her mom, powerhouse vocalist Lady Gaga founded the Born This Way Foundation. The goal is to make kindness cool and support the mental health of young people through youth-based programming. “To me, kindness heals all things,” the singer said.
