Hollywood actor brings anti-bullying campaign to Wellington
The Village of Wellington shows its support to Actor Quinton Aaron, best known for starring in the Oscar nominated film “The Blind Side,” on his anti-bullying initiative. Village council and staff welcomed the actor and the Quinton Aaron Foundation team during their visit to Village Hall on Tuesday, August 18, 2015.
“It is a pleasure to be here. Thank you for allowing us to spread our message. Our goal here is to help kids all over the country turn negatives into positives and find their purpose in life and live for that, and you know disregard all the negative,” said the actor during his visit.
Through his foundation, Quinton Aaron delivers his anti-bullying message, visiting countless schools, churches, and anti-bullying programs around the country. The actor recently joined the local non-profit “Horses Healing Hearts.” The organization helps children in families suffering from substance abuse. Quinton and the Horses Healing Hearts team hope this partnership will help Wellington children learn positive life skills.
