"His gift says a lot," Lisa Rey, president and CEO of the organization, says of the New Year's Eve star. "It's not only the clothing. It's having something special that other kids wouldn't have access to. It shows them that people care."

Are you surprised Zac Efron donated so many items to the organization?

5, 4, 3, 2, 1... the star studded flick New Year's Eve is out now! Stars Zac Efron, Abigail Breslin, and Jake T. Austin recently dished about the flick, on-screen kissing, and strict parents!

Q: Abigail, have you had to take to your parents yet about loosening the reigns or are they such cool parents you get to do anything you want?
Abigail Breslin: My parents are cool. They let me do things, but I was saying the other day actually in an interview that I'm not really sure if my mom would let me do Times Square on New Year's Eve and she's like, "You're right, I wouldn't." So I don't think that's going to be happening any time soon!

Q: Zac, what was it like working with Michelle Pfeiffer again after working with her in Hairspray?
Zac Efron: I met Michelle [Pfeiffer] a few years ago during Hairspray and had a huge crush on her always from day one and back then I was very, very young and very bashful and around her I tended to put my foot in my mouth a lot. I didn't really know what to say to her and everything just came out wrong. But then I got to talk on the phone with her about this part and I remember she said, "I think we should take this to the next level and we should really push it, let's get a kiss in there," and I was like, "I am in this movie! Sign me up." It turned out to be awesome. It is lovely working with her. Every single time, every second with her is amazing.

Star-studded flick, New Year's Eve, is set to hit theaters on December 9, but we're giving you a sneak peek of three scenes featuring Zac Efron! In the film, Zac plays Paul, a bike messenger hired by high-powered career woman Ingrid (played by Michelle Pfieffer) to help her to complete all of her New Year's resolutions before the clock strikes midnight.
