David Archuleta: Cute AND Charitable

5 months ago 29th May 11:05

We love David Archuleta over here at FemaleFirst, and he just seems to keep getting better and better as he proves he’s not only an awesome singer and the cutest boy in town, but that he also has a generous and caring side.

We to be honest, we’d expect nothing less from the American Idol star, but his generosity really shone through on Tuesday when he popped in to the West Jordan branch of the Cyprus Credit Union to accept a $50,000 donation for his charity, David vs. Goliath, dedicated to fighting Multiple Sclerosis.

Now David is well known for his support of dozens of charities, but he is particularly dedicated to helping find an ‘end’ to MS as he has seen first-hand what it has done to his friends and family.

Archuleta, who will be partying up this summer as he embarks on a tour with Disney's Demi Lovato, has finally proven that not everyone in this world is selfish, and that some people will always put others’ needs first.
