Jennifer Garner is known for her ass kicking on “Alias,” her winsomeness in 13 Going on 30, her red-carpet outfits, her celebrity marriage to (and recent divorce from) Ben Affleck and, perhaps slightly less prominently, her work as an ambassador for the international charity Save the Children. This Thursday, that charity work brings the movie star to Burlington, where the public can see her — space permitting — at a “special conversation on the importance of high-quality child care” at Merrill’s Roxy Cinemas in Burlington.
Garner’s conversation partners will be Save the Children Action Network CEO Mark Shriver and Aly Richards, CEO of Let’s Grow Kids, a Burlington-based organization that aims “to ensure affordable access to high-quality child care for all Vermont families by 2025,” according to its website.
