Celine Dion will give you nothing she like many have their own set charity and give only to that. She would be the worst! Many are involved with Make A Wish and the problem you may face as many probably deal with someone at head office who deals with all their fundraising

She even took part in a charity song to help the victims. Come Together Now

Lots of celebrities are very generous when it comes to charity.
Check the Charity auction section, and find out who other charity collectors have written to, and recieved good successes from.
