Many stars agree. Malcolm in the Middle's Jane Kaczmarek and NYPD Blue's Esai Morales are among those who have visited public schools to read to children through BookPALS, one of the SAG Foundation's charitable programs. "It's what we actors do," says Morales. "We love to take people on journeys—especially children whose minds are so ready to fly."
Our partnership with EIF reaches even more people. Every year PEOPLE donates advertising space to the fundraising group, which distributes millions of dollars annually to hundreds of worthy charities. EIF also spearheads nationwide efforts to raise research dollars for diseases such as women's cancers and cardiovascular illnesses—the latter the focus of a new program that "PEOPLE was instrumental in helping launch," says the group's president, Lisa Paulsen. Celebrity spokesmen Kirk Douglas (who survived a stroke in 1996), Sylvester Stallone (whose daughter Sophia Rose, 5, was born with a heart defect) and Dana Carvey and Larry King (both of whom have undergone bypass surgery) headline a public service ad campaign that has appeared in our pages. "PEOPLE has created an avenue for us to bring our message to millions of people," says Paulsen. The bottom line is fighting disease, says PEOPLE public affairs director Susan Ollinick. "We're able to help do that by giving EIF valuable space in the most popular magazine in the world."
