Welcome to "The AvA Awards Fundraiser," a initiative dedicated to supporting the invaluable work of several nonprofit organizations that are making an impact on our community and beyond. This event aims to honor Hollywood assistants while raising funds for charities in the entertainment/music space that are close to our hearts.
By participating in this fundraiser, you are supporting the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to caring for the entertainment community in times of need. For more than a century, MPTF has provided critical support to film and television workers through healthcare services, financial assistance, residential living, and social services ensuring that those who bring stories to life are supported behind the scenes. MPTF remains a vital safety net for the industry.
The Bee Kind Project, a nonprofit created to honor the life and legacy of Emma Huke, the beloved daughter of Allison and Tim Huke and sister of Ellis Huke who tragically died in the San Diego plane crash alongside colleagues from Sound Talent Group. Emma was a passionate music lover and vibrant booking associate who lit up every room she entered. The Bee Kind Project is devoted to building kinder, more compassionate communities through youth development, character education, and the Bee Kind Pledge, while funding scholarships in the arts and literature, inclusive music and literacy programs, mental health and advocacy resources for LGBTQ+ youth and their families
We also support Backline, whose mission is to connect music industry professionals and their families with a trusted network of mental health and wellness providers. Your contributions will help ensure that those shaping the soundtracks of our lives have the support they need.
The Save the Music Foundation is another standout organization benefiting from your generosity. A key player in addressing systemic inequities in music education, Save the Music has donated over $75 million worth of instruments, technology, and equipment to public schools, directly enhancing the educational journey of millions of students across the nation.
Your support will extend to Support and Feed, a nonprofit advocating for a global shift towards an equitable, plant-based food system. By combating food insecurity and the climate crisis, this organization is leading the way toward a sustainable future for all.
Last but certainly not least, you will be contributing to the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, the official charity of the iconic baseball team. With a primary focus on sports, recreation, education, literacy, and health, this foundation leverages strategic partnerships to drive positive change in underserved communities throughout Greater Los Angeles.
