Rosie O'Donnell Matches Claymates' $47,000 UNICEF Donation

Incoming The View star Rosie O'Donnell said she will match the $47,000 Claymates donated to UNICEF. When told of the Claymates' tremendous efforts on her Ask-Ro blog yesterday...

Did ya hear? Claymates united and raised over $47,000 in less than 24 hours for UNICEF in Clay’s name for kids of Lebanon. He challenged us and we came thru in a BIG WAY! He is true measure of a man.

...she replied saying: "and i will match that amount, 47,000 dollars"

Like Clay, O'Donnell continues to provide a voice disadvantaged for children. Her foundation "Rosie's For All Kids Foundation" has worked to "provide financial support for non-profit programs serving economically disadvantaged and at-risk children and their families" since its founding in 1997.
