well, he says his partying days are over and that the rest of his life will be devoted to charity so hopefully he'll be able to positively channel whatever issues he may have and approach his philanthropical efforts with the same reckless abandon. :thumbsup
Charitable activities
Sheen was the 2004 spokesperson for the Lee National Denim Day breast cancer fundraiser that raised millions of dollars for research and education regarding the disease. Sheen stated that a friend of his died from breast cancer, and he wanted to try to help find a cure for the disease.
A major donor and supporter of Aid For AIDS since 2006, Sheen was honored with an AFA Angel Award, one of only a few ever given, at the nonprofit's 25th Silver Anniversary Reception in 2009.[109] In addition to his financial support, he has volunteered to act as a celebrity judge for several years for their annual fundraiser, Best In Drag Show,[110] which raises around a quarter of a million dollars[109] each year in Los Angeles for AIDS assistance.[111][112] He has brought other celebrities to support the event, including his father, actor Martin Sheen.[113] Sheen's interest in AIDS was first reported in 1987 with his support of Ryan White, an Indiana teenager who became a national spokesperson for AIDS awareness after being infected with AIDS through a blood transfusion for his hemophilia.[114][115]
On March 27, 2008, Sheen and Jenna Elfman co-hosted the Scientology-affiliated New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project charity event.[116]
Sheen donated one dollar from each ticket sold from his ?My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option Show? 2011 tour to the Red Cross Japanese earthquake Relief Fund.[44]
In 2011, Sheen took on a Twitter challenge by a grieving mother to help critically ill babies born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia by supporting CHERUBS ? The Association of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research, Awareness and Support.[117]
On July 16, 2012, Sheen announced that he would donate at least $1 million to the USO. This will be among the largest single donations ever given to the troop morale-boosting organization.[118]
Sheen, a lifelong fan of the Cincinnati Reds, announced in August 2012 that he would donate $50,000 to the team's community fund, which supports various charities. The donation came after the team raised another $50,000 in an attempt to get broadcaster Marty Brennaman to shave his head on the field after a Reds victory. After Brennaman shaved his head, Sheen offered to match the previous donation total.[119]
