In this case, not only the patients could benefit from the donations but also their parents who are carrying all the responsibilities of paying those bills.

Aside from this generous act for the patients of cancer programs, there are many websites that were made live in order to give chances to the avid fans of the Hollywood stars to play with their idols. Of course, you will pay this opportunity to come to you. You need a VIP access to sit at a table with the other players who also took the VIP access with a celebrity playing with you.
