Jennifer Garneroffered a spirited rendition ofThe Sound of Music’s classic song “Do-Re-Mi” — with a twist!
ThePeppermintactress, 47, altered the lyrics to honor the 100th anniversary ofSave the Childrenat the “Centennial Celebration: Once in a Lifetime” gala held in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
“Save the Children, one hundred years. We have three lofty goals: A healthy start for kids, the opportunity to learn and always protect the young from harm,” Garner sang.
Garner shared a video of the moment on her Instagram account on Friday.
“If these commercials were your last interactions with@savethechildren, I’m guessing it is because we work where no one else wants to go—on purpose,” the actress wrote.
She continued, “Where conflict, humanitarian crises, natural disasters or poverty have stacked odds against children, where gender inequality puts girls’ childhoods, lives and futures at risk,#SaveTheChildrenis the first organization in and the last one to leave.”

“They’ve gone without baths, without food, without medical care,” she continued. “They’re here, happy to hear my butcherGoodnight Moonbecause they’re children.”
Amid an influx of migrant families seeking asylum in the U.S. from violence and instability in their home countries, Save the Children has launched its first humanitarian mission in America, according to NBC.
“They are a group that has been out here probably a little over two weeks now. They set up the kids’ safe zone/play zone. They have a lot of volunteers that come in and do arts and crafts with the kids and stuff like that,” Chris Brice, the county official overseeing operations, said of their work,according to theDeming Headlight.
