MileyBird turned 20 on Friday and she has already waved bye-bye to her teenage ways of whimsy!!

Although everyone was eager to shower with the Princess of Pop in presents, she opted to take a more philanthropic route.

In lieu of birthday gifts, Miley Cyrus asked friends and fans to donate directly to her charities.

Dog rescue group Saving SPOT! and Starkey Hearing, a non-profit dedicated to bringing sound to all the world's ears.

Apparently the Party in the U.S.A. singer's efforts were successful because she thanked her supporters profusely via Twitter.

She said:

Thank you to all my fans who donated to @starkeyhearing @spotrescuedogs for my birthday :) y'all topped it again best bday present by far!

Deaf Academy Award winning actress and current contestant on season 4 of Celebrity Apprentice, Marlee Matlin, flew to Uganda this past weekend to help others with a hearing disability.

She lent her hands to officials at the Starkey Hearing Foundation to fit aids to hearing-impaired African kids.

The charity, which the actress has been a long time supporter of, aims to fit 22,000 state-of-art hearing devices to children and adults across the continent in 24 days.

She said of her work with the foundation:

"I have been a friend and supporter of the Starkey Hearing Foundation for about eight years now and believe whole-heartedly in their work to bring the gift of hearing to those who would normally not have access to this level of hearing care, which is essential for one to realize their true and full potential."

Awesome job, Marlee! We love to see celebrities giving back to the world around them.

We're sure those kids and the foundation really appreciate your help. Keep up the good work!

It's so lovely of her, especially given her current family drama, to be giving back like this!

Truly such a wonderful cause! And it will mean so much to those kids!

Keep up the good work, gurl! We're so happy to see you doing something so positive and selfless!
