Anytime a company achieves the prevalence that WWE has, there is a certain amount of charitable work that is expected of them. For decades, Vince McMahon and his employees have been devoted to giving back, to supporting a number of causes. From the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which WWE has been closely associated since the days of Hulk Hogan, to the Be A Star campaign that denounces bullying, the company puts its money, time and energy into making a difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RAhxhIHdpM As a wrestling fan, it is incredibly refreshing to see an organization with a seemingly endless supply of money be so generous in their charity work. While others are quick to denounce wrestling as redneck entertainment, it is a source of pride for those of us who support it to be able to say, redneck entertainment or not, they make a difference. Which is not something all mainstream celebrities can claim.
