On Saturday January 30th, Alana Ethridge (profile) hosted a private screening for the film Tooth Fairy. The screening was held for over 80 kids in Alana’s Achievers “reading for life” program and other Athletes for Education programs. Her guest of honor was a co-star from the film, Chase Ellison. In Tooth Fairy, Chase plays Randy (Ashley Judd’s son). The kids were surprised and thrilled to get to meet the young actor and take part in a little Red Carpet experience! Check out the video of Alana’s Q&A interview with Chase HERE. You can also take a look at a video of Alana taking photos with the kids from the event HERE.

In other news, Alana is continuing to be very busy in the community! She will be partnering with the San Diego USD for their high school girl’s pilot program 10-to-Succeed. The program targets at risk girls to help them improve attendance and the drop-out rate in low income area high schools. The program will also support them in setting positive goals and focus on getting a good education. Alana will be speaking at several assemblies in the coming weeks to kick off the program. Although Alana is only 12, the school district feels that she can inspire the older girls by what she has already accomplished at her young age. Let’s hope the new program is a big success!
