Ellen DeGeneres is receiving a humanitarian award, and St.
Jude Children’s Research Hospital is reaping the benefits.
Producers of the People’s Choice Awards announced Monday
that DeGeneres will be recognized as the Favorite Humanitarian at Wednesday’s
ceremony. The honor comes with a $200,000 donation from Walgreens, which
DeGeneres is directing toward the hospital.
She joked that the award “sums me up perfectly as I am
both a human and an itarian.”
DeGeneres is also nominated for Favorite Talk
Show Host at the fan-voted People’s Choice Awards, which will be presented at
the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles and broadcast on CBS.
