Donated by Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley was a greatest person ever because he had also used to donate $$ to charities like every year he used to gave at least $1,000 or more to 50 Charities in Memphis-area but he also randomly made many other charitable donations in Memphis & around the country each year.

On 1st February 1957, he had returned to his home Tupelo(his birthplace), When he had find "Elvis Presley Youth Center of Tupelo" was going to developed, He had donated them $14,000, "Elvis Presley Youth Center of Tupelo" was developed after that.

Elvis Presley and his manager Colonel Parker bought 50 special seats and donated them to the patients which were from Tripler Hospital located in Hawaii. Elvis' benefit raised more than $52,000 for that memorial fund. On March 30, The Hawaii House of Representatives passed special Resolution 105 thanking Elvis and Colonel for there work.

In 1961 he had given a benefit concert on Bloch Arena in Hawaii, which had raised over $65,000 toward the building at the U.S.S Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. The resulting publicity gave a new life to the fund-raising effort, which had by then, lost almost all of its momentum. The memorial was opened after 1 year.

St. Jude in 1964 he purchased FDR's presidential yacht, the potomac and gave it to Danny Thomas as a fund-raising item for St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital in Memphis. That presentation took place at Long Beach California, He had bought that yacht on an auction for a reported $55,000.

In 1965, he had donated $50,000 to Motion Picture Relief Fund, the largest single donation to that time.

While he was working in Hawaii filming Paradise, Hawaiian Style, he had visited the completed memorial and he placed a wreath there. Media's Photographers, reporters rushed into record the event, but he had sent them away because he did not want his visit to the memorial to become a publicity stunt.

Most of his humanitarian attempts received no publicity for all this. Throughout in his adult life, for his friends, for his family and for pure strangers, he had quietly paid there hospital bills, bought homes, supported families, paid off there debts, and so much more.

Audience tickets for his 1973 concert named "Aloha-From Hawaii" television special and its pre-broadcast rehearsal show carried no price, Each audience person was asked to pay whatever they can. The performances were a benefit raising $75,000 for the Kui Lee Cancer Fund in Hawaii.

He had given freely to the charities and other worthy causes, He had sponsored many baseball teams, whether he received publicity from it or not.

The Bethany Maternity Home was one of the charities he had donated to many years on Christmas.

On Christmas time every year he would donate around $100,000 to organized charities.
