Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Partners with La Colombe Coffee Roasters for a Good Cause

Recently, Leonardo DiCaprio's Foundation (LDF) partnered with my hometown, Philadelphia's La Colombe Torrefaction, a national coffee roasting chain to create a new coffee line, LYON. Together, they will  help save endangered orangutans on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra where the company's coffee is grown while Leonardo DiCaprio has been using his pull as an actor to help endangers tigers around the world.

With DiCaprio being the tiger guy and Carmichael the organgutan guy, they will now work to together to raise awareness on one of the most pressing environmental issue of our time. 100% of the net profits from the sale of LYON will be donated to environmental charities supported by LDF.

Todd Carmichael, Co-Owner of La Colombe, said in a recent press release, “Leonardo is a real person, who lives and breathes what he does and I can’t say that for everyone in Los Angeles. He uses everything is his power to change the world and he is what I wish everyone was.”

Sandra Bullock, Doctors without Borders and Tybee Island

One of my favorite aspects of Hollywood celebrities is they are big givers. I mean really big givers and they have fun while doing it. For many stars, they have taken their name beyond the Hollywood big screen to support causes, not because they can write a check but rather when you explore their charitable giving many support the same causes and charities for years. And in addition to financial contributions, they also leverage their name, face, and voice to promote a cause's message.

Today's celebrity pic is Sandra Bullock. She happens to be one of my favorite comedian-actresses and she is a funny off-screen as she is on-screen. Sandra also has a residence on Tybee Island off of Savannah, Georgia where I live and is generous to our community.

Sandra has been really stepping off the red carpet to step up for good causes. She recently donated $1million to Doctors without Borders Emergency Operations for Haiti relief efforts to fix three of the medical facilities damaged by the earthquake. Also, the Bochic bracelet she's wearing in this photo will be auctioned for charity. 100% of the proceeds will support CharityWater and their efforts to support clean drinking water in Haiti.

Just this past week, Sandra teamed up with Coach to benefit one of her favorites charities, the Beauty Bus Foundation. Sandra has two favorite Coach bags the Madison Leather Hippie and Kristin Leather Tote. They can be yours, too, for a good cause. It makes shopping feel good, really good. Part of the proceeds from her two favorite bags,will benefit the Beauty Bus Foundation. The Beauty Bus Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for home-bound, terminally or chronically ill patients and their primary caregivers.
