Ben Stiller has gone head-to-head with Lance Armstrong for charity – parodying Armstrong’s LiveStrong Foundation with his own StillerStrong Foundation.
The comedy actor is selling headbands for Save the Children, a charity he visited Uganda for earlier this year.
“With Save the Children, because I assume they know how to save kids, we are raising money to expand the school, dig a drinking water well there, and set up a self sustainable crop field to help the residents keep the school going for years to come,” said Stiller. “It’s only one school, but hopefully our efforts will lead to greater awareness for the education needs of the children in Haiti. If not, maybe it will bring the headband back into fashion.”
Headbands are available directly from StillerStrong.org. To watch videos featuring Stiller as he challenges Armstrong and gives a headband to Owen Wilson, click here.
