Oh Hells Yes

From Jez:

"I used to work for a nonprofit, and Cuba Gooding Jr. was one of the guests at our annual fundraising gala. He was a great sport - during our ask from the stage, where we try to whip people into a frenzy of pledging great sums of money, Cuba stood up and actually yelled "com'n rich white people, we're raising money for kids," and then actually shouted "show me the money." Plus he was totally cool and un-diva about showing up. Some celebs will come if you pay for all sorts of fancy extras for them, which sometimes we would do, but grumbling the whole way about how it cut into our bottom line (and therefore lessened the services we could offer our clients.)"
