Philanthro Productions, A Powerhouse For Non-Profit Education Among Generation Y, Generates $20,000 For The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Grassroots Non-profit has Succeeded in Raising over $60,000 for its Partner Charities in Just Over a Year

Los Angeles, CA (July 1, 2008) - Philanthro Productions, a non-profit organization that creates unique opportunities for young adults to engage in charitable giving, today announced results from its latest event, SPOTLIGHT: Cystic Fibrosis Revealed, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF), the leading organization devoted to curing and controlling cystic fibrosis, a fatal genetic disease. SPOTLIGHT took place at Peter Famulari’s Boulevard3 in Hollywood, Calif. last Friday, June 20.

Philanthro Productions broke several of its own records with SPOTLIGHT, drawing out nearly 1,000 patrons and donating $20,000 to CFF. With special performances, giveaways and educational pieces integrated throughout the venue, the event proved to be more than just a night out at a club for the young adults in attendance..

“Throughout the past year, Philanthro has cultivated a passion for doing groundbreaking work that enables our generation to make a difference,” said Austin Kiessig, 24, Philanthro’s Co-President. “It is especially motivating to work with a non-profit like CFF that so strenuously adheres to the values of efficiency and transparency we hold ourselves to, and whose cause is so superbly important.”

“There is nothing more rewarding than working with young people who, creatively and sincerely, partner for a meaningful cause,” said Leslie Kerr, Executive Director of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Los Angeles office.

A portion of the proceeds from SPOTLIGHT will go to CFF LA’s first annual Brew Haw Haw, sponsored in part by Philanthro Productions. The Brew Haw Haw will be held on Saturday, August 2nd from 1-5pm at the Autry National Center in Griffith Park. Philanthro Productions will also work to bring even more young professionals to this ultimate outdoor festival, featuring an afternoon of live music, entertainment, lively auctions – and of course, beer tasting. Admission $50/per person; visit www.philanthroproductions.org for further information.
