Actor and comedian Steve Carell surprised and moved high school students in Altadena by announcing that the nonprofit organization Alice’s Kids would help those affected by the Los Angeles fires.

Steve Carell announced that Alice’s Kids will cover the prom tickets for all high school students in Altadena who were affected by the Los Angeles fires at the beginning of 2025.

The announcement was made in a video that reminded many fans of an episode of the series “The Office,” in which Carell’s character announces he will pay for the college tuition of all students at a school.

“Alice’s Kids wanted me to let you know that they will pay for all of your prom tickets. And if you already paid, they will reimburse you,” said the actor in a voice reminiscent of his character Michael Scott.

“Have fun. Enjoy prom, and remember, this is Steve Carell. Take it easy, folks,” he concluded. The actor and his wife, Nancy, have supported the organization for years, according to a spokesperson for the organization in an interview with People.

Alice’s Kids executive director Ron Fitzsimmons mentioned that Altadena students love Steve Carell and are fans of “The Office,” making the message even more special.


“What a thoughtful way to celebrate teenagers who have lost so much!” commented one of the organization’s followers on the announcement video. “I cried watching this video! Thank you so much, Steve and Alice’s Kids! Lots of love to you!” said another.
