EXCLUSIVE: Cuba Gooding Jr. Proudly Supports the Boys & Girls Clubs of America
Cuba Gooding Jr. has a heart of gold.
ET's Nancy O'Dell caught up with the 49-year-old actor and Denzel Washington at the 2017 Golden Globes, where the two made a toast with Moet champagne to the charity of their choice, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
ET teamed up with Moet & Chandon for Toast for a Cause at this year's awards show, as Moet donated $1,000 to each celebrity's charity of choice.
"Cuba Gooding Jr. is a distinguished Boys & Girls Clubs of America Alumni Hall of Fame honoree. For years, Cuba has been an incredible supporter and advocate for the youth development non-profit organization," the Boys & Girls Club of America said in a statement to ET.
"As an alum of Boys & Girls Club in Tustin, California, Cuba found a safe place where he was introduced to dance, an opportunity that provided him a platform to explore his gifts as a performing artist," the statement continued. "Throughout his career, Cuba has continued to lend his time to bring awareness to issues that impact youth today – sharing his story as a Club alum to inspire the next generation to find their Great Future at a Boys & Girls Club."
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America has been helping children across the U.S. for over 150 years. Its mission is to enable all young people, especially those in need, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
