For seven years, I've partnered with this amazing company
called Shutterfly.
I call them my friends.
But not one of them has ever given me a ride to the airport.
[LAUGHTER]
But I love them anyway.
My friends at Shutterfly have made it possible
for us to give away over $10 million.
And I couldn't love them more.
Take a look.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So I love talking to people and my audience.
Right now, I want to take a few questions.
Jasmine Aurelono.
I don't have a question.
I just want to say thank you so much for getting me
through some hard times.
I really looked up to you since middle school.
Thank you, Ellen.
Well, Jasmine, that's so sweet.
Come here.
[APPLAUSE]
You want to go back to school.
But you can't afford the tuition right now.
And you want to be a teacher, right?
Why do you want to be a teacher?
I noticed that my teachers, I could always go to them.
And I kind of want to be that support to other kids.
You're amazing.
That is so sweet.
My friends at Shutterfly want to help you achieve
your dream with $25,000.
[APPLAUSE]
We want to give your family your dream car.
It's a brand-new Honda Pilot.
Oh!
[APPLAUSE]
These are two sisters.
One of them is fighting cancer.
Well, that was beautiful.
That was amazing.
Thank you.
So even though you were going through all these treatments,
you are able to dance?
Yes.
Wow.
Dancing makes me really happy.
And it helps me stay humble and positive.
You are a fighter, and strong.
And I know there's been a lot of medical expenses.
So they want to give each of you $20,000 for your college
tuition.
[APPLAUSE]
$40,000.
Ah!
$50,000.
[APPLAUSE]
Oh, my god.
Last week, we saw this video of a beautiful 9-year-old girl
dancing on stage with Pharrell.
She's been a patient at Children's Hospital
since she was a baby.
From Santa Barbara, please welcome
Ellie and her mom Samantha.
[APPLAUSE]
So you're up on stage with Pharrell.
Did you talk to him again afterwards?
Or was that it?
After the last song, that was it.
Pharrell, come on out.
[APPLAUSE]
I just was overcome by you're angelic energy.
So much of goodwill is inside of you.
Because of the medical expenses, we
want to give you a check for $50,000 to help.
[APPLAUSE]
And this is your third charter school, right?
Yes, the name of the schools are Capital Preps.
We're really fighting the battle to give
our kids, that are from the communities I come from,
a fighting chance.
We want to give you $50,000 for your school.
Wow.
Shutterfly, thank you!
[APPLAUSE]
$20,000.
Oh, my god!
$20,000.
Oh, thank you.
$10,000 for the Captain Marvel Challenge, with Captain Marvel.
You'll have 45 seconds to hit as many plastic water bottles
as you can.
From Shutterfly.
I would donate $10,000 to the Boys and Girls Club.
But you need to let me shave that beard.
This is so fun.
[APPLAUSE]
That's a giant check.
Look at this.
It's the giant check!
We saw a video of an assistant principal
named Ranesa Shipman dancing at a high-school pep rally.
I just want to be remembered for being a good person,
uplifting, giving.
And it just reminds me of you.
Because you don't see Creed, color, size, shape.
You see people's hearts.
And that's all I want to be remember for,
is helping people, and seeing their hearts.
So it--
[APPLAUSE]
Now, you're going to make me cry?
Shutterfly wanted to give you a check for $20,000.
All right?
I know that you both turned down high-paying jobs
to work in a certain hospital.
What is the ultimate goal?
We want to see more black doctors, more Latino doctors,
more out and proud doctors.
[APPLAUSE]
My friends at Shutterfly love what you're doing.
And they want to give each of you $25,000 to help.
[APPLAUSE]
We're celebrating the life of one
of our most memorable guests, Lisa Jarmon.
She became close with other people
that we've had on the show.
We got the heartbreaking news that Lisa passed away
after battling breast cancer.
Lisa embodied everything that we stand for at this show.
She was kind.
She was loving.
She put everyone around her first.
And because of this, we want to do something
that we've never done before.
We're starting the Lisa Jarmon Fund.
Shutterfly want to make the first donation
with a check for $100,000.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank god!
Thank you so much.
I'm sure she was happy.
What?
Thank you, Shutterfly.
Y'all are amazing, Shutterfly.
Thank you so much.
Go to my website to find out more about Shutterfly.
If you've never checked out their website,
you got to do that.
And because they're my friends.
You're all getting a $250 Shutterfly
gift card to go home with.
[APPLAUSE]
We'll be back.
