SPOTLIGHT ON: Allegory and Make-a-Wish

Allegory and Make-A-Wish Partner up to Make Dreams Happen at Comic Con 2012

On the heels of their success last year, Allegory hosted three Make-A-Wish families at this year’s Comic Convention. The weekend was a huge success, as the kids (and their families) were able to meet their favorite artists, attend their desired panels as VIPs, meet their favorite TV and movie stars and get the behind-the-scenes treatment they truly deserved!

Watch more about our endeavors with Make-a-Wish on our Vimeo channel.

SPOTLIGHT ON: Cause & Affect Foundation

We are also proud to salute Adam Carter, our Director of International Initiatives, for his continued good deeds around the world. As founder and director of Cause & Affect Foundation, he has been assisting families, non-profit organizations and people on four continents for the past six years. His recent project in Guatemala, as documented here, shows just how far a small amount of money can go towards drastically changing the fate of for a poor Mayan family in rural Guatemala. Check out the video to see how he facilitated a new house for this family in need.Keep it up, Adam!
