Johnny Carson: Gone but Still Giving

Johnny Carson: Gone but Still Giving

Although Johnny Carson, the famous Tonight Show host, died in January 2005 after a battle with emphysema, it hasn’t stopped him from helping his favorite causes from beyond the grave. In fact, Carson became Hollywood’s biggest philanthropist in 2009, having quietly arranged for a donation of $156 million to his charitable trust, the John W. Carson Foundation. Like Carson, you, too, can extend your generosity beyond your lifetime!
