MIAMI (2006-09-08) – The GMC division of General Motors will sponsor the September 8 Miami premier of the new movie, Gridiron Gang, starring actor and sports entertainer, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. The event will take place at the Shops at Sunset Place at 9:30 p.m.
Gridiron Gang is based on a true story about two juvenile detention camp probation officers who turn a group of troubled teens into a disciplined high school football team in four weeks, while teaching them self-respect and responsibility.

The movie’s Miami premiere and after-party will serve as a fundraiser for Dwayne Johnson’s new non-profit organization, The ROCK Foundation, which provides programs designed to enrich the lives and self-esteem of underserved, at-risk youth and children hospitalized for medical disabilities, disorders and illnesses.

At the event, GMC will present The ROCK Foundation with a charitable donation to support the foundation’s efforts to provide opportunities and programs that empower and enrich the lives of children.

The ROCK Foundation is a great organization dedicated to helping young people boost their self-esteem and fulfill their dreams, and GMC is proud to support such a cause, said Steve Rosenblum, GMC Marketing Director.

In the spirit of giving, movie premier guests are encouraged to donate a toy to The Rock’s Toy Chest, which supports playrooms in various children’s hospitals.
