Denzel Giving Back

Although many famous names in Hollywood are all about charity work to get positive publicity, Denzel Washington is a true philanthropist and has supported many different causes throughout his life, especially the Boys and Girls Club.

Beause "the Club" (which is the name Washington uses) was such a big part of his life growing up, he has become a huge advocate for them and has appeared on number public service announcements for them. He was appointed as a major spokesperson in 1992.

 Because of his gracious work, Washington was given the Herbert Hoover Humanitarian Award, which is highest award the Boys and Girls Club gives to their volunteers.

Washington currently still stands as a spokesperson and volunteers for "the Club" when possible.
