That's what I was thinking. They're not exactly giving people...


Wasn't Stevie's, that she gave the royalties from one song to....her Mom? I can't remember exactly WHO she gave them to...

to be fair, i think Stevie supports many charities and has many causes she donates to. weren't her concerts in Phoenix one large donation to benefit AHI?

while Stevie seems to do the most of them publicly known, it looks like Christine has suppoerted various disease causes, and as far as we know LB and family support various art education causes.

Yes, Stevie held yearly Concerts in Arizona for AHI. I love the bootleg acoustic version of Gypsy that Lindsey and Waddy Wachtel played on about 16 years ago. I wish they played it that way on a Mac concert (I am sure some people would prefer an ensemble version of Big Love, as well).

I think she's supported City of Hope, too. Someone mentioned Lindsey's donations to ACLU and GLAAD (I think those were back in the 90s), but that's not to say he still doesn't support them or other causes.

But no, they're not really known for their philanthropy.

Christine does a lot in support of her local community. I'm not sure whether she did a lot in Kent, but now she lives in Belgravia she gives her time to the local community group (see: Belgravia Awards for unsung members of the local community).

I think I remember reading somewhere Mick has also done quite a bit in support of environmental issues in Maui....something to do with whales???
He also does a lot for a variety of charities through his restaurant...Make a Wish Foundation for example.
PS: I'm not sure whether it counts as charity as such but he also did that project on behalf of the US government to foster better relations with Cuba.

I believe Stevie donated a cool million dollars to some sort of relief fund right after Hurricane Katrina.

Yes, the Judd Apatow concert performances that Lindsey did was to raise money to tutor Los Angeles school kids and Kristen sets up charitable events. I remember the tour through the garden of their house was to raise money.

And when Lindsey appeared with Tim Kaine it was a private fundraiser for the Democratic party.
