Sweet charity
Business Week interviewed winners of celebrity charity auctions, including a woman who got to meet Jake Gyllenhaal:
Hang out backstage with Jake Gyllenhaal
Winner: Linda Boileau, political cartoonist at the State Journal, Lexington, Ky.
Site: Charitybuzz
Paid: Will not disclose
I’m a fan of Jake’s and was looking around online for what was going on with him. I knew he was doing a play, If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet, and came across Charitybuzz offering tickets to see it and do a meet-and-greet with him. I won, so they told me when I got to the theater I should call, and he’d come take me backstage. Jake was just wonderful. He’s so kind, not egotistical. I knew he had dogs, so I did a caricature of his dogs. He was really interested that I was a cartoonist. We went back to his dressing room and just talked, sat for about half an hour. We talked about his dogs and the play and Kentucky, where I’m from. He didn’t rush through anything. I didn’t ask him any personal questions—I didn’t want to seem goofy. I wasn’t thinking it would be hours of walking around the city or anything. He grew a really big beard for the play and had long hair, but he’s still a really nice-looking guy.
We saw the photo from the play in the fall, but it's nice to get the story behind the story.
In December, Jake participated in ICAP Charity Day:

You can see him at about the 2'10" and 3'55" mark
In April, Jake is going to be honored for his work with Edible Schoolyard.
In November, Jake did a reading at a free performance for the military and their families:
