Sumner M. Redstone announced last week a second grant of $500,000 – bringing his most recent gift to total $1 mil, to the Cambodian Children’s Fund (CCF), a non-profit program that provides a wide range of critical health and educational services to impoverished and abused children in Cambodia’s capitol city of Phnom Penh. Redstone who last donated in 2007 said, “The Cambodian Children’s Fund is bringing lifesaving services to innocent children who live in a world of poverty, sickness and ignorance. In 2007, I was pleased to establish a rescue center that brought critical services to thousands of young lives. With this additional funding, the CCF can grow their programs to serve a wider range of children and to help sustain its operations for the long term. Through the consistency and expansion of its health care and education services, the CCF can provide hope and a path to a new life for thousands of young lives.”I hope this gift will encourage others to join me in supporting the amazing work of the Cambodian Children’s Fund. Redstone and his family are majority owners of CBS, Viacom, MTV, BET and Paramount Pictures.
