This past week, the Australian bushfires have become an international environmental emergency that has popped up on practically everyone's radar. Many are sharing the devastating news to spread awareness, but pop singer Pink has taken things a step further by pledging a donation of $500,000 to the cause.
"I am totally devastated watching what is happening in Australia right now with the horrific bushfires," the "Just Give Me a Reason" singer tweeted. "I am pledging a donation of $500,000 directly to the local fire services that are battling so hard on the frontlines. My heart goes out to our friends and family in Oz."
