Charlize Theron Raises Over $1 Million At Annual Block Party For Africa Outreach Project
Actress and Producer Charlize Theron hosted her fourth annual Block Party on Saturday night in Los Angeles, raising over $1 million for her charity, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP).
The event held at the Universal Backlot, featured performances by country artists Tanner Adell and Lainey Wilson and celebrated the upcoming release of the summer blockbuster ''Twisters.''
CTAOP was founded by Theron nearly two decades ago and focuses on improving the health and safety of young people in Southern Africa. The organization supports community-based initiatives by providing funding, building communities and amplifying local voices to address health and gender inequality.
