Brad Pitt and his family have donated $1 million to set up an endowment fund for paediatric cancer specialists at St John’s hospital in Springfield, Missouri.

A new clinic at the hospital will reportedly be called the St John’s Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center in honour of Pitt’s mother. She will reportedly open the centre this summer.

A local paper reported the donors also included Pitt’s brother Doug and his wife Lisa, and the actor’s sister Julie Neal and her husband Rob.

The hospital also reportedly has plans to use the funds for a 10-bedroom Ronald McDonald House. In addition, a neo-natal clinic and a paediatric intensive care unit are reported to be in the works.
