With the help of sports lifestyle brand Puma, celebrities showed their support for the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust at a Los Angeles event on Wednesday night that felt like an African Bazaar.
'The Incredible Hulk' star Edward Norton joined the likes of "90210" actress Jessica Stroup, "Saturday Night Live" alum Chris Kattan and many more celebs for a full-fledged African experience.
The Puma event highlighted the efforts made by the Kenya-based organization that supports not only the preservation of the Maasai community but also seeks to supply health services and education.
