Cullen hits seven figures

Not in salary — he hit that milestone a while back — but in money raised by his charitable foundation, the Cullen Children's Foundation.
Cullen announced during his Cully's Kids Celebrity Weekend on Friday in Fargo, N.D., that this year's event, the fourth annual, will push the foundation past the $1 million mark.
Cullen, who grew up just across the border in Moorhead, Minn., founded the foundation in 2003.Â
