Bill Clinton To Speak At Martin Sheen's Charity Movie Premiere

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 11:30:00 +0000

On October 5th, Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen will premiere their new movie “The Way” with a screening to benefit the Walkabout Foundation in NYC.

President Clinton will be the screening’s keynote speaker, supported by honorary chair committee members Mario Bell, Paul Farmer, Donna Karan, Mike Myers, Chris Pine, Ivanka Trump and Christy Turlington Burns.

Founded by Carolina and Luis Gonzales-Bunster, the Walkabout Foundation focuses on finding a cure for paralysis and donating wheelchairs to people in need all over the world. By pure coincidence, Carolina and Luis’ father Rolando met Emilio on a flight during which they started talking about the Camino de Santiago, the ancient pilgrimage path after which the movie is named. Rolando explained that his family walked the Camino to launch the Walkabout Foundation the same year Emilio filmed “The Way.” Inspired by Luis being the first person ever to conquer the Camino using just the strength of his arms and the Gonzalez-Bunsters’ dedication and commitment to finding a cure to paralysis, Emilio decided to turn the screening into a fundraiser for the foundation.

Shrek’s alter ego Mike Myers was moved to tears after performing at a children’s hospital last week.

The actor visited the Rusk Institute in New York’s Bronx last Thursday, October 23, with the charity theater group Only Make Believe, which puts on plays for young children in hospitals and care facilities.

“I watched kids of differing physical abilities and different backgrounds from around the world lose themselves in imagination and make believe,” the 45-year-old actor told People. “And I was moved to tears. All I can tell you is that I cried like a baby. I couldn’t stop crying.”

A growing list of celebrities are offering time and attention to individual children, and even sharing the spotlight with them, in answer to a call from A Star For The Night, a charity that makes dreams come true for underprivileged, disabled, and homeless children.

Singers such as LeAnn Rimes and Rick Springfield have had Stars’ children on stage and even singing with them during concerts, and actors Nikki Cox, Andy Garcia, Mike Myers, Mandy Moore, and Ben Stiller have given radio interviews to them – as has music legend Neil Young. A Star For A Night aims to fulfill the wishes of about 450 kids per year to participate in fashion shows, appear on the sets of television shows, and attend sports events.

Founder Dejra Turley said, “We give these children a night that emphasizes hope, inspiration, and acknowledgement.”

Lunchbox Auction Will Help Feed Hungry Children

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 14:49:04 +0000

These original artistic efforts are for the Lunchbox Auction.

The artistry is often unique and often indicative of the personality behind the work. World renown chef Bobby Flay’s 2005 lunchbox was decorated with spices. Bono’s lunchbox was simply red signifying his (RED) campaign. The bidding for lunchbox items will commence online on December 6, 2007
