Steve Carell recently announced on YouTube that Alice's Kids will cover prom ticket costs for around 800 high school seniors in Altadena, California, impacted by recent wildfires. This initiative comes with an estimated budget of $175,000. Ron Fitzsimmons, the charity's executive director, stated Carell's popularity among teens, especially those who binge-watched The Office during the pandemic, influenced this collaboration. Carell's decision to promote this charitable act contrasts with his character's infamous failure to fulfill a similar promise in a classic episode of The Office, highlighting the positive turn of events in real life.
"Attention! Attention, all seniors, Alice's Kids wanted me to let you know that they will be paying for all of your prom tickets... It's a pretty good deal."
"Steve has supported us for years... So, I came up with the idea of having Steve announce our gesture, and he agreed immediately to cut the video."
