Together, We Made a Difference: A Heartfelt Thank You for Your Giving Tuesday Support!

For the month of November, we participated in GivingTuesday—a “global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity” (givingtuesday.org). Our goal was to raise $1500 to help fund our Summer Filmmaking Camp where we’ll be providing students all the resources they need to create their own film. While we only raised $710, we still feel so lucky to have raised a portion of the funds we need. To everyone who donated, thank you. The waves of your generosity are rippling out further than you know, as you are impacting the lives of every student involved in our foundation. Thank you for making such an incredible difference!
