  <title>Today Is Lance Armstrong's LIVESTRONG Day</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/62-javier-lee&quot;&gt;Javier Lee&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;13 years ago, on this very day, professional cyclist &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; at age 25 &amp;#8211; was diagnosed with testicular cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This, however, did not stop him from winning the Tour de France in a record-breaking seven consecutive years, from 1999 to 2005.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1997, he founded the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. Over the years, his foundation has supported cancer research and education, as well as awareness and advocacy campaigns all around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With over 28 million people around the world living with cancer today, the Lance Armstrong Foundation believed strongly that there can be &#8211; and should be &#8211; life after cancer for more people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#8217;s why the fight begins in the moment of diagnosis, giving people the resources and support they need to fight cancer head-on. The Foundation is constantly seeking new, creative and innovative ways to raise awareness, fund research and end the stigma about cancer that many survivors face. By connecting people and communities to drive social change, they call for state, national and world leaders to help fight this disease. Now, anyone from anywhere on Earth can join this fight against cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today is &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; Day. It is the day members of our community celebrate survivorship and raise awareness about the fight against cancer in communities across the globe. On this special day, Lance is calling out to volunteers and the public to join him and his foundation in the global fight against cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We can now get involved with Lance&#8217;s incredible work and spread the good word about &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; Day by signing a world cancer declaration form on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livestrongaction.org/campaigns/commit-fight-cancer&quot;&gt;the Foundation&#8217;s website&lt;/a&gt;. In addition, individuals can also create a personal dedication page for someone who has inspired them to join the fight against cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides signing the declaration form, passionate volunteers from all around the world are also strongly encouraged to host their own events on this day, in line with helping the Foundation to reach the goal of hosting 1000 events in communities throughout the world! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livestrongaction.org/map?tr=y&amp;amp;auid=5353119&quot;&gt;This link&lt;/a&gt; makes it easy for volunteers to join in any organized events in their respective communities on 2nd October.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The call to action is indeed something that all of us possess deep within our very own hearts. Let us take this opportunity to join Lance Armstrong and his Foundation in their inspiring journey to fight cancer worldwide, right now today on &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; Day.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Lance Armstrong Launches Cancer Petition</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt; has revealed the reasons he is riding in this year&#8217;s Tour de France and how you can help him find a cure for cancer as he competes for his 8th title.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I returned to cycling this year for one reason: to fight for the 28 million people affected by cancer worldwide,&#8220; wrote the cyclist in an email to his fans. &amp;quot;We are making tremendous progress in this fight, but there&#8217;s still so much to be done. By next year cancer will be the #1 killer in the world and yet most of the world&#8217;s leaders lack any real plan to fight back. During my 20-day ride in the Tour I&amp;#8217;m calling on leaders around the world to make major commitments to fight cancer worldwide &#8211; but I can&#8217;t do it alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;As a first step, will you join me and &lt;a href=&quot;http://livestrongaction.org/campaigns/commit-fight-cancer&quot;&gt;sign the World Cancer Declaration&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; a major global push to pressure the world&amp;#8217;s leaders to act now on cancer? As an added incentive, a donor has pledged to give $30,000 if we can collect 30,000 signatures before the end of the Tour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ll send these signatures to world leaders after the Tour de France and pressure them to make cancer a priority in their own countries. It&#8217;s our best chance to push for better treatment, more funding for cancer research and access to care for everyone around the world. Without your commitment, these leaders won&#8217;t pay attention. &lt;a href=&quot;http://livestrongaction.org/campaigns/commit-fight-cancer&quot;&gt;Will you sign the declaration then ask your friends and family to do the same?&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;When you sign the declaration, you&amp;#8217;ll be able to dedicate that action to a cancer survivor or caregiver who has inspired you. I dedicated my signature to my mom, who stuck by me &#8211; and fought alongside me &#8211; throughout my cancer fight. Who will you dedicate yours to? We&#8217;ll be keeping you updated on our progress over the coming weeks &#8211; meanwhile, join me at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Livestrong&lt;/a&gt; and make your commitment now.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Lance Armstrong Talks Motivation</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt; is currently competing for his 8th title in the Tour de France, and last week talked in a TV special about his motivation to find a cure for cancer and to keep racing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &#8220;Lance Armstrong: The Comeback Story&#8221; &#8211; which aired on &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VERSUS&lt;/span&gt; on July 4 &#8211; Armstrong talked indepth about his passion to find a cure for cancer as the motivation for his return.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Photo: Lance Armstrong Talks Cancer&quot; class=&quot;photo story_wide&quot; src=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/photo/2711-lance-armstrong-talks-cancer/story_wide.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Lance Armstrong Talks Cancer&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;You look at 2005 and people start to say &#8216;What a perfect way to end&#8217; and then rides off into the sunset,&#8220; he said. &amp;quot;From a sports perspective, it puts it out there as potentially damaging, this &#8220;legacy&#8221;. But I think in start to bring about change to cancer worldwide, then I&#8217;m not worried about the other legacy.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Armstrong established the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong Foundation&lt;/a&gt; to give inspiration and empowerment to people with cancer through education, advocacy, public health and research programs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;It really is the main motivation to be back doing this. We&#8217;re at a point now where we felt that we could take this message and we can effect lives, we can effect change, and ultimately create more survivors around the world.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Lance Armstrong To Cycle For Cancer Center</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Pelotonia, the ambitious new cycling tour founded by NetJets to benefit cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center &amp;#8211; James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, now has the world&#8217;s highest profile cyclist joining its inaugural tour that will take place from August 28-30, 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pelotonia is proud to announce that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt; will participate in its opening ceremony on Friday, August 28 and will cycle Pelotonia&#8217;s &#8220;century ride&#8221; from Columbus to Athens, Ohio on Saturday, August 29 following the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Global Cancer Summit in Dublin, Ireland August 24 through 26.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the landmark event of the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; Global Cancer Campaign, the Summit will make the case for acting urgently to address the global cancer burden and introduce new commitments to cancer control by bringing together world leaders, corporations, non-governmental organizations and advocates in an unprecedented show of solidarity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; movement will take its Global Cancer Campaign to Ohio for Pelotonia 09 because we share the same goals. Pelotonia&#8217;s sole mission is to fund life-saving cancer research and that mission aligns perfectly with our efforts to support survivors all over the world and to make cancer a global priority,&#8221; confirmed Lance Armstrong. &#8220;NetJets&#8217; creation and sponsorship of Pelotonia 09 will help raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer and promote the spirit of the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; Global Cancer Campaign.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;NetJets is pleased to join advocates around the world by making this commitment to join LIVESTRONG&#8217;s global fight against cancer,&#8221; said Daniel Rosenthal, Office of the Chairman, NetJets Inc. &#8220;Pelotonia is going to be an incredible experience for everyone involved and we are excited that Lance Armstrong will add to that experience by participating in Pelotonia&#8217;s inaugural weekend.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;We are thrilled that Lance Armstrong will join our community for Pelotonia&#8217;s inaugural weekend this August,&#8221; said Thomas Lennox, Pelotonia&#8217;s Executive Director. &#8220;Lance returned to cycling in order to increase global awareness about cancer, and Pelotonia will help him further that mission while also raising the funds necessary to support the high quality research performed every day at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One hundred percent of the donations raised by Pelotonia and its riders will benefit groundbreaking cancer research performed at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center &#8211; James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;OSUCCC&lt;/span&gt;-James).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;We have enjoyed an ongoing partnership with Lance Armstrong and the Lance Armstrong Foundation,&#8221; said Michael Caligiuri, MD, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; of the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute and Director of the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;OSU&lt;/span&gt; Comprehensive Cancer Center. &#8220;We were one of the cities selected last year for Lance&#8217;s national tour on &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; Day, and we hosted the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; Summit last July. We&#8217;re one of eight cancer centers in the nation to be part of the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LIVESTRONG&lt;/span&gt; Survivorship Center of Excellence Network. His participation in Pelotonia 09 is yet another example of his commitment and partnership with Ohio State. We are delighted that he has chosen to participate in this event and help promote groundbreaking research in our cancer program.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Registration for both riders and volunteers is currently open at www.pelotonia.org. Registered riders may choose from three scenic routes of 50 miles, 100 miles or 180 miles, all of which have been designed to appeal to cyclists of varying experience levels. President of The Ohio State University E. Gordon Gee, Dr. Michael Caligiuri, and NetJets executive Daniel Rosenthal have all registered to ride.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the afternoon of Friday, August 28, Pelotonia&#8217;s festivities will begin with a celebration at Chemical Abstracts Service in Columbus, Ohio. The kick-off will include rider registration, expositions and an opening ceremony.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the morning of Saturday, August 29, riders on all three routes will clip in at Chemical Abstracts Service in Columbus, Ohio and travel southeast toward Athens, Ohio. Pelotonia will support all of its riders along all of its routes with food and beverages as well as medical and mechanical assistance. Water stops will be located in or around Groveport, Amanda, Sugar Grove, and Nelsonville, Ohio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those riders who choose the one-day, 50-mile route will end their tour with a finale on Saturday near Sugar Grove, Ohio, while those who choose the one-day, 100-mile route will end their tour on Saturday with a festival at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Those riders who choose the two-day, 180-mile route will finish their first day&#8217;s tour with the festival at Ohio University where they will also spend the night. On Sunday, August 30, the two-day riders will ride back toward Columbus, ending their tour with a celebration near Canal Winchester, Ohio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to participate in Pelotonia, a rider commits to a fundraising minimum that corresponds with his or her chosen route. Two-day, 180-mile cyclists must raise at least $2,000. One-day cyclists riding 100 miles must raise at least $1,500, while one-day cyclists riding 50 miles must raise at least $1,000. Pelotonia will donate every dollar raised by every rider to the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;OSUCCC&lt;/span&gt;-James.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Giving Back Fund Announces Top 30 Celebrity Givers</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;The Giving Back Fund has released its second annual Giving Back 30 survey, a ranking of the celebrities who have made the largest donations to charity in 2007 according to public records.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Heading the list was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/103-oprah&quot;&gt;Oprah Winfrey&lt;/a&gt;, who donated $50.2 million to the Oprah Winfrey Foundation and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/73-oprahs-angel-network&quot;&gt;Oprah&amp;#8217;s Angel Network&lt;/a&gt; to &amp;#8220;support the &lt;br /&gt;
inspiration, empowerment and education of women, children, and families around the world and to encourage people around the world to make a difference in the lives of others&amp;#8221;. Coming in second was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1218-herb-alpert&quot;&gt;Herb Alpert&lt;/a&gt;, who donated a total of $13 million to the Herb Alpert Foundation, followed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/181-barbra-streisand&quot;&gt;Barbra Streisand&lt;/a&gt;, who gave over $11 million to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/219-streisand-foundation&quot;&gt;Streisand Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To compile the most accurate rankings, The Giving Back Fund culled media reports of charitable giving by sports and entertainment professionals;  reviewed PF-990 tax-forms; contacted more than 250 publicists, attorneys, agents, agencies, and managers for information about their clients;  sent inquiries to more than 150 charities known for their celebrity associations; and contacted the major sports leagues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Our hope is that celebrities will begin to become more comfortable sharing information about their charitable giving &lt;del&gt;-&lt;/del&gt; perhaps not disclosing everything they give, but sharing enough that they will serve as role-models to their peers and fans,&#8221; said Marc Pollick, President and Founder of The Giving Back Fund.  &#8220;We know that many celebrities re-direct income from sponsorship and merchandising deals to charity, or help to raise funds in other ways. We are researching reliable means to report this information in a separate list.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Giving Back Fund did not include grants made by foundations in the list so as to avoid counting the same funds twice &lt;del&gt;-&lt;/del&gt; once when the donor gave money to a foundation and again when the donor decided on a beneficiary for that money.  The Giving Back did not calculate giving as a percentage of the celebrities income because there is no consistent way to calculate income when taking into account income from sponsorship and merchandise sales.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Donations to private foundations are disclosed in public documents.  However, donations to public charities are not publicly disclosed and therefore may not be reported in the Giving Back 30.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rest of the list included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/189-paul-newman&quot;&gt;Paul Newman&lt;/a&gt;, who gave away over $10 million; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/193-mel-gibson&quot;&gt;Mel Gibson&lt;/a&gt;, who gave $9.9 million to the AP Reilly Foundation, the tax-exempt entity named for his late mother, which supports Holy Family Catholic Church in Malibu, California; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/2-angelina-jolie&quot;&gt;Angelina Jolie&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/27-brad-pitt&quot;&gt;Brad Pitt&lt;/a&gt;, who collectively donated over $8 million to good causes; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt;, who pledged $5 million to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. Other celebrities listed included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/527-michael-jordan&quot;&gt;Michael Jordan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/405-rosie-odonnell&quot;&gt;Rosie O&amp;#8217;Donnell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/710-hugh-hefner&quot;&gt;Hugh Hefner&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/529-tiger-woods&quot;&gt;Tiger Woods&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

They are calling on the public to help take matters into our own hands, investing in a revolution that will change the way scientists and clinicians work to understand and treat cancer. Stand Up To Cancer is more than a rallying cry. It is a galvanizing force created to urgently move cancer research forward.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>NBA Star Charles Barkley Donates to Fire Victims</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/23-delinda-lombardo&quot;&gt;Delinda Lombardo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last July, former &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/span&gt; player &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1240-charles-barkley&quot;&gt;Charles Barkley&lt;/a&gt; took a time out from the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament to check out the damage caused by a fire that swept through South Lake Tahoe.  After seeing the fire&amp;#8217;s devastation, Barkley donated $25,000 and also promised to send a generous donation to support the fire victims. And this week, as promised, the 11-Time &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt; Star sent the Community Disaster Resource Center (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CDRC&lt;/span&gt;) for Angora fire victims a check for $100,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This additional aid is coming at a time when the plight of the survivors has passed from many minds, and the need is greater than ever,&amp;#8221; said &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CDRC&lt;/span&gt; Board Chairman Dick Schwarte. &amp;#8220;There are so many families in the throes of trying to rebuild their lives so that they can stay here in South Lake, and these additional funds will enable us to assist those individuals in response to their requests.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Angora Fire was a wind-driven fire that started near a North Upper Truckee Road subdivision near Angora Lakes, Fallen Leaf Lake, and South Lake Tahoe in California around 2:15 PM on Sunday, June 24, 2007.  The devastating fire destroyed 254 homes, displaced 3,500 residents, and caused more than $160 million in damages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;This is unbelievable,&#8221; Barkley said after touring the area with an &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NBC&lt;/span&gt; Sports film crew. &#8220;I really want to let people know that this is really unfortunate. It&#8217;s going to take years for everybody to rebuild their houses here. If we stay over there at the golf and casino, we&#8217;re not going to think anything is going on here. That&#8217;s why I wanted to come here with a camera. When you live in different parts of the country and they show you two houses burned down, you don&#8217;t get the full effect. We need to do something like this every year we come here &amp;#8230; to show the progress.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In February, Barkley toured the hurricane-ravished areas in New Orleans. &#8220;That hurricane could have hit last week, that&#8217;s how bad it was. Houses were all watered out and streets were nothing but mud everywhere, and that was two years later,&#8221; said Barkley, who donated a whopping $1 million to help New Orleans residents recover.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Angora fire victims still needing assistance should contact Carrie Reiter at the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CDRC&lt;/span&gt; to complete an application. For additional information on registering for help or assisting, call (530) 542-4656. OR to make a donation to the fire victims, please visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.helptahoe.com&quot;&gt;Help Tahoe&lt;/a&gt; for more info.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And don&amp;#8217;t forget Lake Tahoe&#8217;s annual celebrity golf event that will benefit the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong Foundation&lt;/a&gt; and feature 78 entertainment and sports superstars.

  <title>Oprah Tops Celebrity Philanthropy A-List</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/1-steve-purcell&quot;&gt;Steve Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A list of the 30 largest public donations made by celebrities in the past year puts &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/103-oprah&quot;&gt;Oprah&lt;/a&gt; in the top spot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Giving Back Fund, which encourages and advises on celebrity philanthropy, compiles its list each year.  President Marc Pollick said, &amp;#8220;Encouragement-by-example is the main reason for the Giving Back 30 list.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oprah gave $58.3 million to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/73-oprahs-angel-network&quot;&gt;Oprah&amp;#8217;s Angel Network&lt;/a&gt; and her recently-opened &lt;a href=&quot;/news/173-oprah-opens-school-for-poor-in-south-africa&quot;&gt;Leadership Academy&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of the other celebrities high on the list, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/181-barbra-streisand&quot;&gt;Barbra Streisand&lt;/a&gt; was in fourth spot, having given $11.75 million through her &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/219-streisand-foundation&quot;&gt;Streisand Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/529-tiger-woods&quot;&gt;Tiger Woods&lt;/a&gt; took fifth place, giving $9.5 million to organisations including the Tiger Woods Learning Center funded by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/526-tiger-woods-foundation&quot;&gt;Tiger Woods Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Giving Back&amp;#8217;s Marc Pollick praised an increasing trend in celebrity donations, saying, &amp;#8220;Ten years ago when Slate magazine first published the Slate 60 reporting on the most generous American philanthropists, the last donor on their list gave $5 million. This year the last donor donated $30 million to charity. This is the type of growth we are hoping to inspire within the sports and entertainment community.  One cannot help but be influenced by the generosity of his or her peers.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The full list and information about how it was compiled can be found at &lt;a href=&quot;http://givingback.org/GivingBack30.html&quot;&gt;givingback.org&lt;/a&gt;.

  <title>Join Lance Armstrong's Army To Fight Breast Cancer</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/1-steve-purcell&quot;&gt;Steve Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt; is asking the public to join his foundation&amp;#8217;s fight against cancer by signing a petition calling for changes to the US government&amp;#8217;s health priorities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;President Bush recently signed a bill to reauthorize the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection program, an initiative that provides free breast and cervical cancer screenings to uninsured and low-income women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, current funding will only cover treatment for one in five eligible women.  Lance describes this situation as &amp;#8220;not good enough&amp;#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a statement made on behalf of his foundation, Armstrong said, &amp;#8220;We know, and the Institute of Medicine confirms, that low-income women are three times more likely to die from breast cancer. Why? This same group is less likely to get screened and more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage cancer. In other words, we could prevent these deaths. In fact, one-third of the 560,000 cancer deaths that occur in the United States each year could be prevented by applying what we already know about prevention, screening and early detection.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To sign the petition, visit the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong Foundation&lt;/a&gt; website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livestrong.org/livestrongday&quot;&gt;livestrong.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Lance Armstrong Party Raises $1 Million</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/1-steve-purcell&quot;&gt;Steve Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt; hosted a fundraising party on Friday to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his anti-cancer charity, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A barbeque at the retired cyclist&amp;#8217;s home in Austin, Texas drew guests including Armstrong&amp;#8217;s ex-fianc&#233;e &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/513-lyle-lovett&quot;&gt;Lyle Lovett&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/170-matthew-mcconaughey&quot;&gt;Matthew McConaughey&lt;/a&gt;, and a total of around $1 million was raised for the Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Armstrong joined Lovett on stage for two songs, and told the crowd, &amp;#8220;I hated losing and I hated rivals. And I despise, detest and hate cancer. This foundation is going to continue to be ruthless and relentless in this fight against cancer.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
