Oprah gives big

via ET

Looks like Oprah's heart is as big as her bank account! The famously charitable chat show host already runs a school for girls in Africa, but now she's taking it stateside, donating $1.5 million to a middle school in one of Atlanta's most impoverished areas. She already donated $365,000 to the school last year! They'll use the cash to help build a new cafeteria, gymnasium, and theater.

Can't write a big check for your cause? Don't worry, there's still a ton you can to do help - organize a school supply drive and donate all the goods to a local school or family shelter, or put those skills to use and start a tutoring program at your school to help kids earn that A.
