For six seasons, our show has partnered
with an amazing company, Shutterfly.
You've probably heard me say that they like to share life's
joy, and it's true, they do.
In the past six years, they've made it possible
for us to give more than $8 million,
and help change lives across the country.
What they've done so far--
[APPLAUSE]
It's truly amazing.
Take a look.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
More than 8 million of you watched these two brothers
get accepted into their dream colleges.
[CHEERING]
You were raised by a single mom, you
were on the verge of being homeless
for most of your lives, you spent years
in a home with no heat, no food a lot of times,
and you would leave the oven burners on
to keep you warm at night.
We want to do something for you, because we love you,
and Shutterfly loves inspiring stories like this.
They want to give you a check for $20,000.
[CHEERING]
Shutterfly is giving you $10,000.
[CHEERING]
Oh.
[CHEERING]
[INAUDIBLE] somebody's at your door.
I hear somebody knocking.
[SCREAMING]
[INAUDIBLE] You guys are all on Ellen right now.
Hey, let's all back up.
Come here.
$60,000.
[SCREAMING]
I work for this amazing charity, Chemo Buddies,
and we give bags to patients going through cancer.
You're doing that because you know a little bit about cancer.
My husband is a five-year cancer survivor.
So it's just something that's dear to my heart.
You inspire me, Ellen.
It's like every day, me and my son watch you,
and you just make me want to get off my butt and do something.
So that's what I've been doing.
You're so sweet.
That's why you're so amazing, because you are a giver.
Our friends at Shutterfly want you to create positive memories
with your family, so they are going to give you
a check for $25,000.
[CHEERING]
Our friends at Shutterfly are giving you a check for $25,000.
No.
You are lying.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
[INAUDIBLE]
[CHEERING]
Oh my God.
[CHEERING]
[MUSIC - P!NK, "WHAT ABOUT US"]
What about us?
Thank you so much.
What happens in classrooms today impacts what
happens in the world tomorrow.
I honestly believe that.
If you fill your classroom with love today,
you're going to fill the world with love tomorrow.
Well, thanks to Cisco video technology,
we're going to check in with [? Jeanie, ?]
who's with some of your students right now.
[CHEERING]
Hi!
[CHEERING]
Shutterfly cares about supporting schools in need,
and they want to give your school a check for $25,000.
[CHEERING]
(SINGING) Hey, Ellen.
Got a second? 'Cause I've got something to say.
You're my idol.
You'd make my dream come true if I could meet you.
The funny thing is I'd probably cry.
I just want a check from Shutterfly.
Seriously.
I'm kidding.
In your song you asked for a check from Shutterfly,
so you're getting a check for $10,000 to pay for college.
[MUSIC - ALESSIA CARA, "SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL"]
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark.
You got a giant check from Shutterfly.
Well, if you googled how to dance you'd find these guys.
They are amazing.
You started performing to support your mom, right?
Yeah.
We was broke, and we wanted to help our mother pay the bills,
so we started street performing in Battery Park.
I wanna be the biggest tip ever that you've ever gotten,
so Shutterfly is going to celebrate this moment
by giving you $10,000.
[CHEERING]
A brave man in Alabama stood outside of a Roy Moore rally
in a very personal protest.
I protested in honor of my daughter who was gay.
She committed suicide.
The Constitution said all men are created equal,
and that's the way they should be treated.
Gay people have rights, just like people who are not gay.
[CHEERING]
It's an honor to be here, Ellen, and a lot more people
watch your show than you realize.
And a lot of us old peanut farmers,
we cut them tractors off and go home
and watch our favorite show.
[CHEERING]
Shutterfly loves organizations like The Trevor Project,
so we're going to donate $25,000 in honor
of your daughter, Patti Sue.
[INAUDIBLE]
[CHEERING]
Shutterfly wants to help you celebrate this moment
and give you a check for $25,000.
[CHEERING]
It's $25,000 from Shutterfly.
Hey now!
Oh my God!
It's $25,000 from Shutterfly.
[INAUDIBLE] Oh my--
[MUSIC - ALESSIA CARA, "SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL"]
Ellen, make it rain.
[CHEERING]
[MUSIC - ALESSIA CARA, "SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL"] No scars
to your beautiful.
No scars to your beautiful.
[CHEERING]
Thank you, Shutterfly, so much.
Everyone in the audience is going
to go home with a $250 Shutterfly gift card.
