Did she issue a press release? I've not a clue. I suspect it would be pretty difficult for this not to become public knowledge.
For the amount to be known to her contemporaries she has set the bar for donation amounts.

He belly flopped 20 miles south east of the reactors and caused this whole problem in the first place.

Sandra Bullock doesn’t give money for public admiration. She does it consistently. Her wealth is no reason to scoff at the donation.

Red Cross? What percentage overhead, promotion, PR?
To: Jewbacca
Nah, I think Pelosi's Dad was fairly wealthy; he'd been the mayor of Baltimore, after all, and parlayed that fame into some bucks.
But she did also marry into money.

I’m sure that million to Haiti went down the usual rat holes. You can’t help Haiti.
Think of what that two million could have done for her own people in her own country.
Sandra Bullock is a left wing athiest.
They had to practically BEG her to be in ‘The Blind Side’
because the woman whom she was to portray was a Christian.

She’s a great gal. My daughter was a PA in the movies for about 5 years. Bullock was the kind of actress who got coffee for the crew. Very German, very unpretentious, very practical. She should have stayed away from that low-life. But I guess she is no angel.

Well, give credit to where credit is due. Most secularists give nothing to charity. As for religion, her family had no faith to share.

“Excuse me for adding this to the Post, but isnt Pelosi one of the richest women in this country? Where is her donation. Where is Hanoi Janes.”
Lib’s only contribute other people’s money.

Did Jesus tell you to tell unbelievers where to give their own money? If not, then don’t bring Jesus into this.
Sandra Bullock needs salvation just like myself, everybody else on earth, and even you.
So you deal with what God told you to deal with and stop criticizing people for not giving their money the way you want them to.

AND...now sandy if you really want to do some LASTING, not temporary, good for mankind.....donate and encourage your buds to donate
other millions to the Institution for the Spread of capitalism
conservatism
free enterprise
scientiic advancement
property rights
representative government and
the rule of law
over the planet earth. Nations who have embraced these ideas are the advanced nations of the earth...almost without real poverty as opposed to those who have NOT ADOPTED THEM and who are consequently mired in the quicksand of utter, hopeless poverty....for... in the words of the inestimable RUSH LIMBAUGH..the problems of the world boil down to the 'unequal distibution of CAPITALISM'....get on the stick...

The president of the American Red Cross was on with either Shep or Neil Cavuto yesterday and was asked about money being donated not actually going to the Japan crisis.
This, no doubt, arises from the stories back during hurricanes in Florida and then Katrina, about funds going to the "general fund" or not necessarily going to help a current crisis.
Instead, the president explained that 91% of every dollar donated goes directly to help victims of disaster. That is one of the highest percentages in the country. It doesn't answer the question that I think most people have, but it does explain how much is going to officers and administrative costs. 9%

Bullock gave one million dollars to
HAITI??
Bullock gave one million dollars to THE RED CROSS for Japan??
She seriously needs a money manager.
But then she proved she didn't have much sense when she married the ugly thug with wall to wall tatoos who was living with a 'porn star' and drove around with friends displaying a Nazi flag. Bullock, give your millions to American Cancer research or heart research. It might even get you more publicity for your cheesy movies. .
