Hum, Jolie's name was added in the first statement, now it is. The money must of come from the Jolie/Pitt Foundation so she wasn't going to leave her name off. Course, this little update is coming from US magazine. So predictable. I am surprised Jolie hasn't added her name before Jane's on the name of the Cancer Center.*eyeroll*
The thing about it is, most people believe that Jolie is the reason Brad and his family are so active in charity, she gets all the credit. Maybe it is true they didn't think twice about charity before Brad hooked up with her, but, as I remember, Doug was involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters way before Jolie entered the picture. Oh well, as long as Jolie gets the press and steals the show, she is happy.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Donate $1 Million to Hospital

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and his family donated $1 million to a Missouri hospital over the weekend.
Brad's bro, Doug, announced the generous contribution to St. John's Hospital in his hometown of Springfield Saturday. The money will establish an endowment fund to pay children's cancer specialists, the Springfield News-Leader reports.
The hospital's cancer treatment unit will be renamed the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, in honor of Brad's mom, who is passionate about children's issues.
Who are the most generous celebs?
Once completed this summer, St. John's Hospital will become one of six affiliates of the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital (one of Jennifer Aniston's favorite charities).
The endowment fund will also go toward building a new pediatric unit, a 10-bedroom hospital-based Ronald McDonald house and doubling the size of the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.

St. John's is matching the $1 million donation to help fund the expansion.
