Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie made a $100,000 donation to the Daniel Pearl Foundation in memory of the American journalist who was kidnapped and tragically killed in Pakistan February 2002.

The monetary gift was made through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation and was presented Tuesday, what would have been the late Pearl’s 43rd birthday.

Pitt & Jolie made a statement released by their rep, “On this day our thoughts go out to Danny’s family.” 

“The Daniel Pearl Foundation is celebrating this day, his birthday, with music festivals around the world. The festivals are a great reminder of not just Danny’s work as a journalist but of his life and his love of music.”

Brad & Angelina arrived last week (see rickshaw pictures) in Pune, India to film a biopic of the Wall Street Journal reporter Pearl.  Angelina will be playing the part of his wife, Mariane Pearl. 

Brangelina strikes again, making the world a better place.
