BBSCF HONOREES & AMBASSADORS

John has an illustrious career spanning more than 30 years – as an actor, producer, musician; from the hit television series Full House to the Broadway stage to a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Though we could spend the rest of the afternoon talking about his credits, it is his charity work which impresses us most. He is the national spokesperson for Project Cuddle - a resource to save newborns and children from being abandoned. He is a longtime volunteer for Give Kids the World – a nonprofit resort providing free week-long vacations to the families of children with serious illnesses. He has worked on behalf of the Special Olympics, the Kindred Foundation for Adoption, Operation Smile, and the Vanguard Cancer Foundation, founded by his mother. And this year he and his wife Caitlin launched the My Saint My Hero jewelry brand, whose profits support ChildHelp – a resource for victims of child abuse.

With all the hoopla that has surrounded her, it's easy to forget that Lisa Marie Presley is at heart a simple Southern girl whose earliest musical memories are of obsessively listening to 45's in her bedroom at Graceland and of her dad catching her singing into a hairbrush in front of a mirror at the age of three. Aside from her full-time job as mother, wife and music artist, Lisa Marie always finds time to help others. She has founded two organizations, Presley Place and Presley Charitable Foundation. She also works closely with CCHR and The Dream Factory.
"That's what drives me — pouring your heart and soul into something and hoping that it can change someone's life in some way."

Sidney Poitier is an academy Award-winning actor, humanitarian, and legend. He was awarded the 2015 International Leadership Award for his "ongoing commitment to the organization."
Poitier grew up in poverty as the son of farmers, who also drove a cab. He had little formal education and at the age of 15 was sent to Miami to live with his brother, in order to forestall a growing tendency toward delinquency. In the U.S., Poitier first experienced the racial chasm that divides the country, a great shock to a boy coming from a society with a majority of African descent. A determination to find and create opportunities for African-Americans was born in him because of the poor treatment he received on the streets of Miami.
We are so thankful to both him and his wife Joanna, for their ongoing support of the BBSCF.

Larry King Live became the first international TV call-in show. Over the course of the next 25 years, King developed a loyal audience who tuned in to watch the talk show host interview presidents, athletes, actors, national heroes, foreign dignitaries and obscure individuals who were thrust into the limelight. The show soon became the highest-rated talk show on air, and a requisite stopover for celebrities plugging any project. King's direct, non-confrontational interview style proved to be a hit with audiences and guests alike.
After having a life-changing heart surgery in 1987, Larry was prompted to establish The Larry King Cardiac Foundation (LKCF) in 1988, to help facilitate life-saving treatment for individuals who, due to limited means or no insurance, would otherwise be unable to receive care. The Foundation works in conjunction with hospitals throughout the nation to ensure that such patients receive proper medical attention.
