SHEEN MAKES GOOD ON CHARITY PROMISE
Posted 1:39pm 04/22/11
Embattled actor CHARLIE SHEEN has followed through on his promise to match funds raised for a bipolar disorder charity by handing over a big cheque to the organisation on Thursday (21Apr11).
The star hosted an auction during his live one-man show in Toronto, Canada last week (ends17Apr11), raising thousands of dollars for the Organization for Bipolar Affective Disorders.
Sheen offered to generously double the total amount raised by fans and he's stuck to his word - the former Two and a Half Men actor donated an extra $5,880 (£3,675) to charity bosses this week.
The organisation's director, Kaj Korvela, tells the New York Daily News, "We're happy to receive the funds, and we'll use them to help people with serious chronic mental health issues and spread awareness about mental health." (MC/NYDN/MT) *WENN
