Actor Nicolas Cage to be guest of honor at the 2010 Halloween Charity Ball

Oscar winning actor Nicolas Cage will be the guest of honor at this year’s edition of the Halloween Charity Ball, to be held at Palatul Parlamentului on October 30^th. Cage is known for his  philanthropic activities in support of the economically and socially disadvantaged. After playing an international arms dealer in the film Lord of War, he donated two million dollars to Amnesty International in 2006 to fund rehabilitation shelters, medical and psychological services for former child soldiers. Ethan Hawke played the Interpol agent assigned to track him down in Lord of War.  It was Hawke (last year’s Guest of Honour at the Halloween Ball) who initially invited Cage to come to this year’s Ball, after learning that Cage would be in Romania at the end of October. 

Ovidiu Rom’s mission is to get every poor child in kindergarten and school – because children who start school later than their peers, never catch up academically.  Fiecare Copil in Gradinita is a set of integrated measures that is currently making possible quality early education for 1200 severely impoverished children in twenty Romanian communities.  Ovidiu Rom raises most of its funds through its annual October fundraising event, the Halloween Charity Ball at Palatul Parlamentului.
