When Johnny was immortalized for all time last September at the Hollywood Walk of Fame at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard by placing his hands and feet in wet cement he wore a very special bracelet that day. It belonged to a young boy, Dustin, who was dying of cancer but who had dreams of becoming an actor. Through the Children’s Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition, he met Screen Actors Guild Director and actress Melissa Gilbert who gave Dustin an honorary SAG card 2 weeks before he died.
“I am honored to be associated with brave little Dustin by wearing this bracelet,” Depp commented shortly after the ceremony.
Gilbert says, “Now, as a member of the Board of Directors and spokesperson on behalf of this incredible organization, I have taken on the charge of getting the Children’s Hospice bracelets on the wrists of my celebrity friends… and YOU. 100% of the proceeds go directly to Children’s Hospice, so by buying a bracelet you are making an immediate and tangible difference.”
