“American Idol” finalist Scott McIntyre and voice legend Jim Cummings attended the 2009 Braille Challenge Awards Banquet Saturday night at the Universal Hilton in Los Angeles, CA. Cummings, who served as the event’s master of ceremonies, voiced a slew of popular cartoon characters for invited guests including Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. McIntyre offered words of inspiration to children and their families who were the top finalists in this year’s Braille Challenge event.

The Braille Institute itself also posted this photo and a little more information in an article entitled Winners of the 2009 Braille Challenge Announced at Star-Studded Ceremony:
After a full day of competition on Saturday, June 20, at Braille Institute in Los Angeles, the 15 winners of the 2009 Braille Challenge® were announced at a gala Awards Ceremony at the Hilton Universal Hotel. Winners received their prizes, U.S. Savings bonds from $500 to $5,000 and a PacMate pocket PC for first place, from voiceover artist Jim Cummings, who is best known as the voices of Disney’s Tigger and Winnie the Pooh and Warner Bros.’ Taz the Tasmanian Devil. The evening culminated with an inspirational speech by special guest, “American Idol’s” Scott MacIntyre. As a blind adult who has been lauded as both a classical musician and a scholar, Scott spoke to the students about the importance of perseverance and defining their own dreams.
It sounds like it was an amazing event! If any of the attendees would like to share any comments about the day, please feel free to do so below.
(Still trying to catch up from the outage last week, sorry that this news is a little old.)
On Wednesday, 24th, June 2009, Jim Cummings was a guest on The Catholics Next Door on Sirus radio.

On August 23, 2008, Disney hosted a lavish premiere for The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning on Catalina Island. Jim Cummings was in attendance but, so far, no photos of him have surfaced.
For more information about the event, however, please visit this great article from MovieVine.
For pictures of everyone else at the star studded event, see here. (You will, like me, find yourself outraged at every random scrub that somehow got their picture taken in place of JC who is actually IN the movie.)
Jim Cummings was a special guest this past weekend at an event called A Day in the Hundred Acre Woods along with Manny Hernandez, an artist from Collectors Edition. I am sorry that I didn’t post anything about this ahead of time, but I just found out about this. The event was on Saturday, June 28th, 2008 at 11 AM in Livermore, CA at the Where the Magic Begins Disney Gifts and Collectibles store. Jim met with fans and signed autographs. The event itself was themed around the Pooh collectibles coming out in the future.
If anyone was at this event and has pictures that they would like to share, please email us!! We would greatly appreciate it.
Here is a great little story about someone who hired JC for a commercial and got him to send his son a recorded message from Darkwing Duck, Winnie the Pooh and Don Carnage.
From Two Thousand Words:
The Day Job Finally Pays Off
I was my eldest son’s hero on Friday. I got him a personal message from Darkwing Duck.We hired a voice talent for a commercial and, lucky me, it was the voice of Darkwing Duck, Jim Cummings. The guy is an amazing voice and was very gracious when I asked him to record the message. He went all out for it too. He also gave us a bit of Don Carnage and Winnie the Pooh.
Very cool guy. But as I said, I was the hero.
