Paris Hilton Raises More Than 100 000$ For Nevada Cancer Institute In One Night

100 000$+ For Cancer Research

Fact: More people know about the fake drunk elephants story than about this. I still can’t believe how popular it got.

Before Paris Hilton hit up the Green Door with her pals last night, Paris had actually jetted over to Vegas to meet up with Jeff Beacher and the rest of the gang at Pure for a charity auction benefitting the Nevada Cancer Institute.

The big prize, of course, was a chance to party with Paris herself – and with a prize like that, the bidding went pretty high pretty quick, with the final bid going for $35,000. Shockingly, though, the crowd turned out to be even more generous with that – as soon as Paris sat back down at her table, two other gentlemen approached her asking for the opportunity to match the donation! That brings the total amount of money Paris raised for cancer research to a staggering $105,000 in one night – way to go, Paris! If she can keep raising money in amounts like that, cancer doesn’t stand a chance!

Nice work Paris and I hope this does start to get more widely reported, as a sign of Paris’s good work and awareness of causes. My mother died of cancer last year and I know Paris mentioned something about her grandmother or someone dying of it too.
