Keynote partnered with the Big Reach Center of Hope in Greenford, Ohio to launch “Hope for the Holidays 2011,” a multi-faceted community outreach effort. Fueled by a major public relations effort, the initiative would supply food, clothing and toys to the families of the area over a six-week period encompassing Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The initiative is an extension of the Center’s ongoing mission of providing help to the most needy in the communities it serves.

The November launch event drew a great number of supporters, corporate partners and the media to the organization’s headquarters on Lisbon Rd. Find out more about the initiative and the organization itself at BigReachMinistries.org.

We completed a 9-minute video celebrating the 35th anniversary of the founding of the Millcreek Children’s Center, truly one of the most inspiring success stories in the region. Those many years ago Sister Jerome Corcoran set out to provide daycare for underprivileged children of Youngstown’s inner city. Today the MCC continues on that mission and the affiliated Youngstown Community School provides students in grades K-6 with education that has been rated ‘excellent’ by the State of Ohio. Now 95 years old, Sister Jerome continues to set the course for the schools, ensuring that those high standards are continually met. The video was beautifully edited by Chris Anthony.
