BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Oprah audience given charity cash: "Oprah audience given charity cash
Oprah Winfrey
Winfrey gave away 276 cars on her show in September 2004
TV host Oprah Winfrey has given more than 300 audience members $1,000 (£526) each to donate to a charitable cause.

Winfrey - who has previously given her studio audience new cars and paid off their debts - gave each person a debit card loaded with the money.

They can give the entire sum to one person - relatives are not eligible - or split it among charitable causes."

We here at Interplast think Oprah's effort at encouraging philanthropy is wonderful. It puts giving in the minds of everyone and reminds all of us that philanthropy is not only for the mega-rich.
