HILARY DUFF - DUFF DONATES TICKET SALES TO TSUNAMI VICTIMS

Teen star HILARY DUFF has pledged a portion of ticket sales from her remaining North America tour dates to the victims of last month's (26DEC04) tsunami.

The 17-year-old actress and singer performed to a sell-out crowd on Tuesday (04JAN05) at Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada and announced, on her official website, she would be donating thousands of dollars to those affected by the tidal wave in Asia.

Her tour assistant CHRISTINA says, "Hilary and SUSAN (Hilary's mother) have decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from each concert to the tsunami relief fund. That is really cool. I know that no matter how big or small the donation it's really needed."
