After Rihanna took a selfie with Sobroff's telephone and breaking it by accident she agreed to auction the autographed phone resulting in the raising of funds for the LAPD Cadet School.

After accidentally dropping Soboroff’s phone (she took a now-viral selfie with him) and cracking its screen, RiRi showed exactly why her fans love her. She generously agreed to autograph Soboroff’s phone and let him auction it off on eBay to raise funds for the underserved kids in the LAPD Cadet program and officers who’ve fallen in the line of duty.
The Cadet Program, which is run by the Los Angeles Police Foundation, teaches the city’s underserved teenagers character education and ethics, as well as public speaking and conflict resolution. It also gets the teens into tip-top physical shape through a running, calisthenics, and obstacle course program.

The good karma from that cell phone gaffe just won't let up. It was just announced on TakePart Live that the pop star plans to donate $25,000 of her own money to the Los Angeles Police Foundation after hearing more about the program and the underserved children it helps. That's a whole lot of kids helped from one shattered screen.
