Steve Carell is ensuring that high school seniors in the Altadena area can attend their prom despite the devastation caused by the Eaton Fire.
Carell made an appearance in a video this week that was shown to approximately 800 seniors at six high schools. This initiative was carried out in collaboration with Alice’s Kids, a charitable organization that posted the video message on their website.
In the video, Carell addresses the seniors by saying, “Attention all seniors. This is Steve Carell with a very special announcement.” He goes on to inform them that Alice’s Kids will cover the cost of all their prom tickets.
He added that if anyone already paid for their prom tickets, Alice’s Kids will reimburse them.
“It’s a pretty good deal,” Carell added in his trademark deadpan. “Have fun, enjoy the prom and remember, this is Steve Carell.”
The schools are in Altadena and Pasadena, including Aveson Schools, Blair High School, John Muir High School, Marshall Fundamental Secondary School, Pasadena High School and Rose City High School
Alice’s Kids is a Virginia-based organization that supports school children nationwide by paying for field trips, prom tickets, summer camps, instrument rentals and more for those who may not be able to afford it.
Several wildfires ripped through Los Angeles in January, destroying tens of thousands of acres of land and thousands of structures. The fires also took the lives of at least 29 people.
The Palisades and Eaton fires are considered the most destructive fires in LA history.
Carell is best known for playing Michael Scott on NBC’s “The Office” between 2005 and 2013.
