Actor Matt Damon has raised $192,000 for a children’s charity by attending the premiere of his new film in Oklahoma City.

Damon, along with producer Frank Marshall, appeared at the red carpet opening of their new movie, The Bourne Ultimatum, held at Bricktown Cinema on July 31. At least 1000 people packed the theater, and the money raised will go to The Children’s Center, a non-profit Bethany hospital that provides medical care, rehabilitative therapies, and special education to children with medical and physical disabilities.

“That’s great!” said Damon when he heard the amount. “It’s such a tangible thing when you start seeing programs and buildings and people’s lives are changing because of this.”
