I'd rather see Elton John distributing that cash, as opposed to Limbaugh.

Here's a list of some of the charities EJ supports: https://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/elton-john

The charitable areas included in his giving are as follows:

Causes supported 33
Abuse, Adoption, Fostering, Orphans, AIDS & HIV, Animals, At-Risk/Disadvantaged Youths, Bullying, Cancer, Children, Civil Rights, Creative Arts, Depression and Suicide, Diabetes, Disaster Relief, Education, Emergency services, Environment, Family/Parent Support, Health, Homelessness, Human Rights, Hunger, LGBT Support, Mental Challenges, Miscellaneous, Peace, Physical Challenges, Poverty, Rape/Sexual Abuse, Refugees, Sports, Substance Abuse, Unemployment/Career Support, Women
