Walt
Disney Studios Home Entertainment and Children For
Children teamed up at Bethune Middle School in Los
Angeles to paint murals for a worthy cause. Students
painted alongside stars from Disney's "The Game
Plan." The event was part of an effort to revitalize
the school and pep up student spirit in learning and
taking pride in one's school. The students at
Bethune "qualify for the Federal Free Lunch
program," and the school is located in an
"underserved" section of Los Angeles. The event was
held on February 1, 2008.
Stars from "The Game Plan" included Madison Pettis,
Morris Chestnut, Hayes MacArthur, Brian White, Jamal
Duff, and Tubbs the Bulldog. Actress Ali Lartner
(fiancé to actor Hayes MacArthur), CFC's Maggie
Jones, and Disney's Amelia McPartlon also joined the
painting party.
From Script To DVD wasn't officially on-hand for
this event, as my own daughter had a tonsil
infection the morning of the festivities. Plus, she
would've been upset if I, Dad, didn't take her to
paint with Madison Pettis! By the looks of it,
though, the students and stars had a fun time
together. |
