Sheen to organize fundraiser for tornado survivors
May 4th, 2011 - 7:57 am ICT by IANSLondon, May 4 (IANS) Actor Charlie Sheen is said to organise a fundraiser for survivors of the tornadoes that struck Alabama last week.
“We’re just going to ask them to drop everything and get down here. I’m hopeful that I can do whatever I can to lend support, compassion and hope,” contactmusic.com quoted Sheen as saying.
He added: “I wanted to see it for myself. I’m here to bring the focus of the world down. I’m on a bit of a recon mission and then we’re going to plan a fundraiser and come back in full force.”
The 45-year-old paid a visit to Tuscaloosa, where at least 200 people died last week after the area was struck by a number of twisters, and he now plans to organise either a baseball game or “multimedia show” with celebrity pals to raise money for those affected by the natural disasters.
