John Travolta, family attend open of new movie
November 20, 2009 21:39 EST
OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- The Travolta's are home for the Ocala open of the new Disney comedy 'Old Dogs' and to help raise money for five charities.
John Travolta, Kelly Preston and their daughter Ella Bleu Travolta greeted hundreds of fans on the red carpet Friday. The family expressed their appreciation to the community, ending their thanks with: "Love you, Ocala."
In January, 16-year-old Jett Travolta died at the family vacation home in Grand Bahamas.
The private gala raised money for five nonprofit agencies selected by Travolta: The Jett Travolta Foundation, Florida Highway Patrol Advisory Council, Project Hope, the Marion County Public Safety Assistance Trust, and the Humane Society of Marion County.
About 150 tickets at $250 apiece were sold to the general public, and the gala also had private invitations.
