Grande performed in Atlanta on June 8, then made a donation of roughly $250,000 to Planned Parenthood, People reported on Wednesday. Planned Parenthood Action Fund President Leana Wen thanked the pop star in a statement for her "generous donation" and said that "thanks to inspiring support like hers, Planned Parenthood can continue to fight back" in court.
