Ron White helping soldiers

Ron White is at it again. For the second year in a row, he’s leveraged his fame to dump giant piles of cash onto a worthy cause. The press release explains last Saturday’s event:

The Armed Forces Foundation (AFF) is proud to announce that comedian Ron White of “Blue Collar Comedy” fame has sold out shows at the Warner Theatre for this Saturday, March 13th. All proceeds from the two shows will go to the Armed Forces Foundation and will be used to provide direct financial and morale support to members of the U.S. Armed Forces.

It’s good to see someone using his notoriety for good and not evil.

The release goes further:

Following the show, Mr. White will be making a stop at Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Sunday to pay tribute and to host a barbeque for over 200 patients. Joining Mr. White in support of the troops on Saturday evening will be the renowned comedian Kathleen Madigan, who herself is an avid and proven supporter of the troops.
