Danny Glover Guest Speaker

San Francisco Bayview Rotary

Please join us for an early evening with guest speaker, actor, producer and humanitarian Danny Glover. The San Francisco Bayview Rotary is honored to be associated with a Danny Glover INSPIRE project to further our 2011 Rotary Club Ben Robinson Educational Scholarship fund, benefiting Bayview college-bound youth; promoting health while building funds with healthy coffee products.

Glover, UNICEF Ambassador, will talk about 'Community Health and Prosperity' highlighting his ongoing work in bringing healthy alternatives and opportunities to people and communities around the world. The San Francisco native may include some anecdotes of his early work in San Francisco and the Bayview community.

Actor, producer and humanitarian Danny Glover has been a commanding presence on screen, stage and television for more than 25 years. As an actor, his film credits range from the blockbuster Lethal Weapon franchise to smaller independent features, some of which Glover also produced. Most recently, he co-starred in the critically acclaimed feature Dreamgirls directed by Bill Condon and in Po' Boy's Game for director Clement Virgo. He appeared in the hit feature Shooter for director Antoine Fuqua and can currently be seen in Honeydripper for director John Sayles and Be Kind, Rewind for director Michel Gondry.

Glover has also gained respect for his wide-reaching community activism and philanthropic efforts, with a particular emphasis on advocacy for economic justice, and access to health care and education programs in the United States and Africa. For these efforts, Glover received a 2006 DGA Honor. Internationally, Glover has served as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program from 1998-2004, focusing on issues of poverty, disease, and economic development in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, and currently serves as UNICEF Ambassador.
