London , May 12 Movie legend Kirk Douglas sponsors a USD 500 checque for every kid, who graduates from the US high school named after him. The 92-year-old has been supporting the California school for giving a second chance to the troubled kids, which prompted the authorities to name it as Kirk Douglas Continuation School, Contactmusic reported. The&aposSpartacus&aposstar, who is also an avid blogger, wrote on his MySpace blog,"A few weeks ago, I made a visit to the Kirk Doubglas High School.One of my pet projects is to try to inspire young people to at least have high school education. Then, I try to encourage them to go to college. As a small inducement, I give every graduate a $500.00 check" The star also makes it a point to personally meet and congratulate every student graduating from the school.Source : http://www.indopia.in/India-usa-uk-news/latest-news/572000/International/2/20/2
