CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Charleston native Jennifer Garner will return to her home state Tuesday, July 19, to host a fundraiser for Herbert Hoover High School.

“From the moment she heard about the flooding, Jennifer has been working hard to raise money and provide supplies for flood victims,” said Palumbo. “As a strong supporter of education, she was heartbroken to hear about the flooding at Herbert Hoover High School and has been working hard to help.”
Palumbo said the $100 ticket is a general admission fee, the $500 ticket includes a professionally taken photograph with Garner and $1,000 ticket includes a private reception prior to the event and a professionally taken photograph with Garner.
