Paris Hilton Gives Back to Community

The star of the television series Simple Life had promised to do more charity work when she completed her jail sentence, just weeks ago.  She recently attended a charity event for children with spinal cord injuries.

The star told People magazine about the event, called Night By the Ocean, "It’s a great organization.  It gives people hope and I’m really happy to be here to support Jesse."

Money was being raised at the event, organized by Hilton’s friend, surfer Jesse Billauer, who is now paralyzed, and who founded the Life Rolls On organization.

Hilton bid on and won a surfing lesson with Billauer and actor Adam Sandler for $17,500.
