It’s a holiday miracle! Funny man Sacha Baron Cohen and his gorgeous wife Isla Fisher donated $1 million to Syrian refugees to the Save the Children charity.

The charity announced the big news on its website on Sunday, “Today Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have made a $1 million donation split equally between Save the Children and the International Rescue Committee to support victims of the conflict in Syria.”

The statement continued, “500,000 Dollars will be used to fund a programme vaccinating more than 250,000 children against a potential measles outbreak in Northern Syria. The other half of the donation will be used to help fund the work to support families, with a special concern for women and children, both inside Syria and in neighboring countries who are suffering as a result of the ongoing conflict."

The Borat star, 44, and the Confessions of a Shopaholic actress, 39, were praised by both the CEO of Save the Children, Justin Forsyth, and IRC president David Miliband.


The CEO of Save the Children, Justin Forsyth, said of the Borat star and the Wedding Crashers star, “By allowing us to make their generous donation to Syrian children public, Sacha and Isla are helping highlight the tragedy of the issue today.”

He added, "These are desperate times for Syrian families facing bombs, bullets and torture in Syria. The couple’s donation will save many thousands of lives and protect some of the most vulnerable children."

The couple have three children and were married in March 2010.
