Steve Carell Surprises Wildfire-Impacted Teens By Covering Their Prom Tickets

March 7, 2025

Today's good news story comes from Altadena, California.

Hollywood star Steve Carell just made prom night a whole lot sweeter for seniors in Altadena. The beloved actor teamed up with Alice’s Kids, a Virginia-based charity, to cover the cost of prom tickets for six local high schools—helping teenagers impacted by the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

Carell announced the heartwarming gesture in a video message streamed to all the seniors. With his signature charm, he declared:

"Attention. Attention all seniors. This is Steve Carell with a very special announcement. I work with a wonderful charity based out of Virginia called Alice’s Kids. And Alice’s Kids wanted me to let you know that they will be paying for all of your prom tickets."

For fans of The Office, this moment is particularly wholesome—and a little ironic. In the show’s infamous Scott’s Tots episode, Carell’s character, Michael Scott, promised to pay for students’ college tuition, only to backtrack years later. But this time? It’s real, and the deal is done!

Thanks to Carell and Alice’s Kids, these seniors can celebrate a well-earned night of fun—without the financial stress. Now that’s a prom surprise worth remembering!
