Jodie Foster was among the stars who showed up at a NYC gala Monday in support of The Trevor Project which is the only round-the-clock suicide prevention help line for gays and questioning youth. Foster made a donation honoring her late best friend Randy Stone, an Academy Award-winning producer who died unexpectedly last year. Stone was one of the founders of The Trevor Project.
"I feel so lucky to have had a best friend like Randy Stone, the funniest guy I've ever known," said Foster in a press statement. "He was talented, passionate, supportive, and as big as life. He brought all his beautiful energy to the Trevor Project, which has done such meaningful work on behalf of gay and questioning youths."
The nonprofit organization made a newly announced plan to raise $1 million in multiyear gifts for two new call centers which will both be called the Randy Stone Call Center. .
In addition to Foster, Nathan Lane, Carson Kressley and Tim Gunn lended their support. The project has already opened call centers in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
