Full of holiday spirit, Rihanna has donated $1.75 million to a Barbados hospital. The donation was lovingly given in memory of her grandmother, aka Gran Gran Dolly (Clara “Dolly” Braithwaite).

The 24-year-old singer visited the hospital Saturday with her mother Monica Fenty and Dolly’s husband Lionel to hand deliver the generous check.

The hospital known as the Queen Elizabeth Hospital will be renamed the Clara Braithwaite Centre for Oncology and Nuclear Medicine.

Rihanna told E! News: “This was my way of giving back to Barbados, in a form of philanthropy, by assisting the QEH in its continued modernization program.

“This was all done to save lives or at least extend them.”

Rihanna had shared the sad news of her grandmother’s death back in June via Twitter: “Goodbye #grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you.”
