"I work with a wonderful charity based out of Virginia called Alice's kids and Alice's kids wanted me to let you know that they will be paying for all of your prom tickets," Carell said in the video, which was shown to students at six different high schools in Southern California.
"If you have already paid for your prom tickets, they will reimburse you for your prom tickets," "The Office" actor added.
Alice's Kids is donating $175,000 towards the prom costs, covering tickets for more than 800 students, according to the Associated Press. The free tickets are aimed towards students who live in the Los Angeles area, where wildfires devastated communities in January.
