Behind the Scenes

 "It's been nearly 8 years since the name Center for Children and Families, Inc. was first mentioned to us. We were initially approached about making a video for a fundraising luncheon. CCFI was using a new fundraising model and the video was a cornerstone of this new approach. Always up for a new creative opportunity, we said "sure, we'll help" and thus opened the door for a wonderful relationship and opened our eyes to some real and sobering realities.

It would be impossible to help tell the story of CCFI without getting to know the staff and the people they serve intimately. Over the years we have gotten to know and love the people who make CCFI wonderful. These people have demonstrated amazing levels of compassion and commitment to healing and preventing the hurts that so many children and families experience in our community.

We've also heard stories that have brought us to tears and inspired us to action beyond our work on the video. We've helped revitalize the play therapy rooms and served as table captains at the luncheon and done what we can to be ambassadors for CCFI and its amazing mission.

It would also be impossible to tell the CCFI story without featuring children in the videos we've created. To fill those roles, we turned to our own kids and the kids of our friends. It's not easy to see a child that you love on the big screen accompanied by statistics of the tragedies that other children actually experience. It brings home the reality that real kids are suffering in horrible ways right here in our community. Those kids deserve to grow up like our kids: safe, nurtured and loved. How could we not give what we can to make that a reality?

Working with CCFI is life-changing for us. It inspires us to be better parents ourselves, it motivates us to take action and it makes us proud that we've partnered with such a worthwhile organization."
