Kevin Bacon returned to the high school where the 1984 hit movie 'Footloose' was filmed for a charity event

Four organizations will receive the care kits, which include hygiene items, socks, journals, reusable water bottles, shelf-stable goods and an offer for three months of free counseling. Footloose hit theaters February 1984 and followed teenager Ren McCormack (Bacon) as he moved from Chicago to a small town where dancing and rock music are illegal after a local tragedy.
