Carnival Names Actress Marcia Gay Harden "Dream" Godmother |
||||||||||||||
Carnival Cruise Lines announced that Academy
Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden will serve as godmother of the new
Carnival Dream and will unveil a multi-year partnership with St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital. Harden, a New Yorker and mother of three, will officially
name the new ship when it makes its North American debut in New York on Nov. 12.
The Tony Award-winning actress also unveiled Carnival’s Big Book of Dreams --
measuring 15.5 feet high by 20 feet wide -- in New York City’s Rockefeller
Center on Nov. 6 and conducted a reading of the story to dozens of
schoolchildren. Inspired by the dreams of children who sailed on Carnival Cruise
Lines this spring,
“The Dream Plucker of Perrysport” tells the tale of young friends who encounter a furry orange monster in a quest to remember their dreams. The book will remain on display at Rockefeller Center Nov. 6 and 7 as one of the free Carnival “Dream Big” family events. “As a mother and actress driven by the idea of dreaming big, I’m honored to take on this new role as godmother of Carnival’s largest-ever ship and to help bring the Big Book of Dreams to life for local children,” said Harden. “I’m also inspired by Carnival’s dedication to support and encourage all kids to dream big through its partnership with St. Jude.” During the three-year partnership with St. Jude, Carnival Cruise Lines’ goal is to raise $3 million for the hospital’s mission of finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic illnesses. To support the hospital, under the theme “Care to Play,” Carnival is creating a number of interactive onboard fundraising activities that will involve guest participation. Carnival will also donate hundreds of kid-sized copies of “The Dream Plucker of Perrysport” to the hospital. For more information, visit www.BigBookofDreams.com or www.stjude.org. |
