HAPPY HOLIDAYS! In this newsletter you'll find a quick recap of some of the latest news and highlights from the past few months. We’ve been fortunate to have so many rewarding opportunities to work with some of our favorite actors, athletes and brands in support of organizations that help kids battling cancer, raise money for cancer research, fight child trafficking and support families of fallen law enforcement officers. We are very excited to announce some brand new partnerships this winter! We have teamed up with a number of studios to host private screenings for children from Ronald McDonald House and the NewYork Hospital for Special Surgery. The kids get an extra special surprise when the stars of the films show up to say hello! Ronald McDonald House NewYork just completed a multimillion dollar renovation and expansion project; we were on hand to document the landmark journey and produce their promotional videos. And last month we hosted the 1st annual Face Off to Fight Pediatric Cancer charity hockey event at the historic Chelsea Piers Sky Rink in Manhattan. We followed the event with a VIP dinner at Sunset Terrace on the Hudson River and raised over $35,000 to benefit children battling cancer.To learn more about what we do and how you (or your clients) can get involved, please visit our website: www.MDCPRODUCTIONS.com.
