Olympic Charity

February 27, 2006 by Myrlia Purcell

Olympic athletes are helping children around the world through generous donations to Right To Play.

Gold medal winner Clara Hughes has pledged to give $10,000, all that she has in her savings account, to help the disadvantaged children that Right To Play supports.

Joey Cheek has donated the winnings from his two medals, a gold and a silver, totalling $40,000.

Cheek’s generosity inspired Yang Yang to donate the $10,000 prize from her bronze medal.
