Jackie Chan is to be honored at the annual WildAid benefit gala in San Francisco next year.
The gala – A Wild Night – will take place on May 11. Save the date now and get in early for tickets – it’s certain to sell out.
Jackie Chan has been extremely vocal in speaking out against the use of tiger products in China, and is an active supporter of WildAid China.
“If you stop buying tiger products, they will stop killing the tigers,” he wrote on his website last year. “I used to think that medicine with tiger bones would heal you, but I was just contributing to them killing more tigers! Tiger skin, tiger medicine, tiger bone – we don’t need it. Lets all save the tigers, especially during the Year of the Tiger! Go to www.wildaidchina.org.”
