videoguy Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 For Friday night's taping of Hamshire Fannett at Bridge City all proceeds of the broadcast will go to the Senior Project Graduation parties for each school. Sheffield Productions will be there will full crew, announcers and replay capabilities. The crew has volunteered their wages to go to the parties. Time Warner has waived their broadcast fee and Mike Sculley at Apple Towing has sent a $500 donation to be divided between the two schools also. Between the crew's wages, Time Warner, Apple Towing and other sponsors for the broadcast; Sheffield Productions will present each Project Graduation group with a check for over $1,000. Besides the initial checks, all night long on the broadcast, Charlie Jehlen and Greg Chesser ( announcers for Sheffield Productions) will appeal to the viewers for donations for either or both schools. Special footage consisting of previously unseen photos and video will be shown of Bridge City flooding and devastation. This showing and the appeals from the announcers will give viewers opportunity to do something to help these Project Graduations and their seniors. The appeal will address the fact that if someone hasn't had a chance to work or volunteer in either stricken community they can still make a difference by making a donation to help these students with their all night Graduation Parties. For those not familiar with the concept of the all night parties; it is a great gesture for the parents and business of the community to put together a non-alcohol, drug free night for the seniors to celebrate their graduation. These allnight parties are typically sponsored by the local businesses. Imagine the dire straits of businesses in these two communities, after Ike, having extra money to put toward something like this. Picturing the conditions of these businesses started the seed of an idea for the donations for the Seniors. Anyone wanting to donate to these schools can PM me for the addresses for the Project Graduations or watch the viewing Wed ( Time Warner channel 18 )where the addresses will be posted several times throughout the broadcast .
