Famous Fone Friends is a non-profit organization founded in 1986 by a group of Los Angeles IATSE, Local 884, Studio Teachers. They connect seriously ill children with celebrities who make phone calls, send audio and video messages, and engage in live chats to bring joy and smiles to the faces of these children. Run entirely by volunteers, Famous Fone Friends has successfully served over 25,000 children dealing with difficult medical issues.
Through referrals from doctors, child-life specialists, and social workers at pediatric hospitals nationwide, Famous Fone Friends provides a unique and uplifting experience for children and their families. With the support of studio teachers and community members, this charitable organization aims to make a positive impact on the lives of these children by offering them memorable interactions with their favorite actors and cartoon characters.
