The Hollywood Reporter has chosen actress Eva Longoria Parker as their Philanthropist of the Year.

THR publisher Eric Mika says of Eva:

"I've never met a more conscientious and socially aware young, energetic talent. Eva's effors on behalf of the causes near and dear to her are Herculean. She pours her free time and energy into raising millions of dollars for charitable missions that make a difference in the Latino community and other humanitarian organizations."

Eva is the national spokesperson for Padres Contra El Cancer (Parents Against Cancer), a nonprofit aiding Latino children with cancer and their families. She also founded Eva's Heroes in her hometown of San Antonio which provides after-school programs for those with developmental disabilities.

Eva is also currently executive producing a documentary called The Harvest, focusing on the mostly Latino child farm workers in America.

Okay, okay, so she is doing some pretty great things!

Felicidades, Eva!
