Description:

The article is no longer hosted on The Mineral County Miner News website so thank you to The Johnny Depp Zone for preserving this story.

The Mineral County Miner reports that on Thursday, June 22, Johnny — in full costume as Tonto — was driven past a lemonade stand set up to raise money for the summer education programs at the Creede Repertory Theatre. Johnny rolled down his window and waved at the teenagers manning the lemonade stand. The next day, when Johnny signed autographs for local residents at the Creede town hall, the lemonade entrepreneurs — Mary Beltran and Ryan and Matt Wilcocks — “asked if he remembered them from the lemonade stand and they explained their cause.” Impressed with their dedication, Johnny promised to match their donation to the theater. And he did! According to the local newspaper, “On July 9 the theatre received a donation from Depp for more than double the amount raised by the lemonade stand.”

Ann Beltran, Mary’s mother, told the press that Johnny Depp “has a kind heart and is a great example to everyone with his generosity and follow through of his word.” We agree! Cheers to Johnny for his kindness and to Mary, Ryan, and Matt for their work to help their local theater.
