Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have other ways of helping children besides adopting them.

E! Online reports that the show-biz super-couple have donated $1 million to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, which will use the cash to fund children's care specialists and build a new pediatric unit that will be double the size of its current pediatric facilities.

Brad's brother Doug Pitt announced the donation, which was made over the weekend, on Saturday.

In thanks for the donation, St. John's will re-name its cancer-treatment unit will be named after Pitt's mother, an advocate of children's issues. Henceforth, the facility will be called Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center.

Have your say in the comments section: If you had $1 million dollars to donate, which charity would you give it to?
