Eva Longoria Parker Named Philanthropist Of The Year


The Hollywood Reporter is honoring 'Desperate Housewives' star Eva Longoria Parker this evening by naming her Philanthropist of the Year. They will hold a private reception in her honor.

I've never met a more conscientious and socially aware young, energetic talent," THR publisher Eric Mika said. "Eva's efforts on behalf of the causes near and dear to her are Herculean. She pours her free time and energy into raising millions of dollars for charitable missions that make a difference in the Latino community and other humanitarian organizations.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Eva is the national spokesperson for Padres Contra El Cancer (Parents Against Cancer), a nonprofit organization for latino children diagnosed with cancer and their families. Eva also founded the organization Eva's Heroes in her hometown of San Antonio, Texas, which provides an after-school program that includes children with developmental disabilities.
It's great to see a celebrity give back to the community. Congratulations, Eva!
