Hollywood Legend To Support Local Charity

Hollywood actor Beau Bridges has recently joined forces with the Stellenbosch-based Give Mme a Chance Children’s Foundation. Bridges, whose illustrious career in the film industry has spanned several decades, was recently in South Africa to film “Free Willy: South Africa,”the latest sequel in the Free Willie series and enthusiastically endorsed the foundation becoming its global ambassador.

According to foundation director Katherine Berchulski, this is an amazing opportunity for the organization to continue their growth and broaden their reach. “Mr. Bridges has agreed to promote Give Me a Chance initiatives abroad and to assist in building our international support network. He has also offered to assist in linking us to potential funding sponsors and his personal website will carry a cross-link to the foundation’s site. Obviously, we are delighted and indeed honoured by his involvement as it will allow us to persist in our effort to provide promising youngsters from the Stellenbosch area the chance to reach their full potential,” mentions Berchulski.

The Give Mme a Chance Children’s Foundation was established by Alluvia Specialist Winery owners in 2005. The foundation supports young learners in local farming communities by providing funding for school fees, uniforms, sports gear, equipment, and books. The program also provides students with additional support through mentorship programs for career guidance and personal development.

The veteran award-winning Hollywood actor was immensely impressed by the foundation’s initiatives and in a statement said: “I was immensely impressed by the Give Me a Chance Children’s Foundation and their initiatives. I would like to help them in their quest to reach out with their efforts to the U.S.”
