Leonardo DiCaprio donates $65,000 to Children of Armenia Fund

Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has made a $65,000 donation to the Children of Armenia Fund (COAF), Page Six reports.

At the COAF's gala in New York, the Oscar winner bought a work by painter Joe Bradley for a cool $65,000.

On December 9, the 13th Annual COAF Gala at Cipriani in New York raised $3.1 million to fund COAF's extensive range of programs in Armenia.

Spanning education, health, wellness, science, technology, innovation, culture, art, communication and languages, COAF's programming was created to empower a new generation of healthy, educated Armenians to significantly improve the future of their homeland on both a local and global scale, the Fund said.
