Keanu Reeves is one of the world’s biggest action stars, but many people don’t realize that he’s also one of the most charitable celebrities in Hollywood
Quote:
“I have a private foundation that’s been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children’s hospitals and cancer research. I don’t like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does.”
Quote:
Cancer research is a personal cause for Keanu. His younger sister, Kim Reeves, was diagnosed with leukemia around 1991 and battled the disease for about a decade before going into remission.

“Money doesn’t mean anything to me. … I give lots away...

His role as Ted is still the high point of his acting career.

He really has taken on a lot of philanthropic causes over the years. Good for him! He's definitely lived the adage from Bill and Ted's to "Be Excellent to Each Other".

As you say, he is incredibly generous with the money he makes. Not sure what it truth and what it legend but if it is all true, good on him. May he make more and be an example of being generous and good willed with ones resources.
