It's good to know she's still actively gively to the communities. Charity events can cost celebsaties a lot of $$ and it's good to see them giving. Way to go JK.
I hope she enjoyed the dinner the chef cooked for her.

That's beyond rich. I mean, I learned to live off $5 a day when I got my car (since I was hardly ever home). That's a meal for me. But over $90,000? Dang... At least it's for a good cause.

It's nice she is spending her money on charity but why food? If I was her I would be buying pet iguana's for everyone. Can't go wrong there.
