The event was held to raise money for Penn's nonprofit organization Community Organized Relief Effort as well as the criminal-justice-reform group Reform Alliance.
First released in 1982, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" was adapted for the screen from a book of the same name by Cameron Crowe ("Almost Famous"), and the film was directed Amy Heckerling, who would go on to direct another cult classic high-school comedy, "Clueless."
