It doesn’t get much better than these guys. An Oscar-winning and All- Star lineup of Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Jack Nicholson as well as Bruce Willis are scheduled to perform a reading of Ernest Hemingway’s, semi-autobiographical, The World of Nick Adams at The Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, CA on October 27th. Backed by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, the fabulous foursome are raising funds for the Painted Turtle, an innovative camp and family care center.
Founded by a phenomenal team of philanthropists including Paul Newman, The Painted Turtle seeks to reach beyond illness and to inspire children with life-threatening diseases in California to become their greater selves despite their conditions. Their mission is to provide a life-changing environment for these kids and their families as well as allowing them to participate in an authentic camp experience by supporting their medical needs.
Big stars making big changes for little children—awesome!
