Paris Hilton is starting to make good on her post-jail promises to help others, turning out at a friend’s charity gala to raise funds for children with spinal cord injuries.
“It’s a great organization,” Hilton told People magazine at Sunday’s Life Rolls On Foundation’s 4th annual Night By the Ocean auction. “It gives people hope and I’m really happy to be here to support Jesse.”
Hilton’s close friend Jesse Billauer, a former pro surfer who is now paralyzed, founded Life Rolls On.
The heiress bid on (and won) a $17, 500 surfing lesson with Billauer and Adam Sandler. Even Hilton’s black-and-white dress was a bit of a charity case, created by 19-year old fashion student she met when he helped pump her gas.
“He said he loved me and my style and showed me 30 dresses he designed just for me. I was amazed by how incredibly talented he was,” Hilton said of designer Jonathan Bash.
Although Hilton was recently seen frolicking in Malibu with new pal Tyler Atkins, 21, she claims she’s all business. “I’m just focusing on doing a movie right now,” she says. “It’s a surprise but I start shooting next month.”
And in the meantime, when not hitting the clubs, she says she’ll continue to try to do good.
“I was just at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital visiting all of the kids and premature babies in the cancer ward,” she said Sunday. “I met with philanthropists and they’re doing a summit with five major charities and we’ll be doing stuff all over the world. I’m excited.”

paris is such a sweetie.
Barbara Walters said this morning that the Hilton Foundation will match in $$$ whatever moneys Paris spends on Charity.
So that will be great for the worthy projects Paris chooses to work on. I just love the Hiltons! Especially Paris.
I can’t stand this racist girl, shes says the N word and of course no one cares, BURN IN HELL PARIS
i love paris shes such a sweetie wow love u girl!
oh, maybe that’s what should happen to YOU,bitch
I love Paris,! She seams like a very nice girl and she is so cute.
Paris is doing great NOW and that’s all that matters.
Who cares what she did or said back when she was teenager,that’s in the past.
i agree the past is the past, leave it there, besides i’m sure all of us have used racist terms at some point, i’m just glad to see she’s sticking to her word and doing the charity work i just wish more people would report on that and not whether she buys a new dog
