Tommy Davidson and Pat O'Brien Host Annual Celebrity Holiday Party at PATH (2010)

The P.A.T.H. 2010 Celebrity Holiday Party brought cheer and hope to many underprivileged children and families.

P.A.T.H., a non-profit community organization, founded in 1984 by Claire West Orr, helps provide the homeless with ways to find work, financial restitution and the opportunity to rebuild their lives and families.

I had the chance to interview some amazing and caring celebrities and people that help run the organization. These celebrities were Tommy Davidson, Pat O'Brien, Sterling Beaumon and Ava Allan.  Also on hand at the event was Paul Palacios representing the Hansen Beverage Company who provided refreshments to all, and  Chief Development Officer of P.A.T.H., Jeremy Sidell. 

Davidson was very interesting and touching because he was an abandoned child, whom was later adopted by a very caring women. He said that she always taught him to be a giving person and that "if you give, you receive".  A message that he carries with him daily.  

O'Brien talked about how P.A.T.H. puts smiles on children's faces and helps the homeless find school, rehab, and employment. He also mentions that P.A.T.H. completely relies on grants and donations. 

Beaumon and Allan of T.V.'s 'Criminal Minds' took time from their busy schedules to visit and hand out gifts as well.  Beaumon brought his ukulele with him

and played it for several fascinated children. 

After leaving the event I really saw how such a small gesture can make a big difference in someones life.
