2016 Verdin 24 Hour Give

Just finished our third annual 24 Hour Give with Verdin. We donated 24 straight hours of video production to the non-profit organization Meals that Connect. (Formerly known as the Senior Nutrition Program) It was a great time. Very meaningful work. Amazing people.

Below is the 30 Second TV Commercial (Public Service Announcement) we produced during the give, along with some photos of the day.
