Charles Schwab's Commercial for CNN's Champions for Change
When I was soliciting for Breakaway 2020, I asked my representative from Charles Schwab, Jamie McGill, if Schwab would be interested in giving money to Breakaway. As soon as I told Jamie all about sled hockey, he was totally hooked. He worked with his boss Chuck Patton and other regional offices around NYC, and Schwab very generously was a Silver-level sponsor for Breakaway 2020. I'm humbled and grateful for their support.
But the story doesn't end there. The Schwab team fell in love with the Sled Rangers, and nominated us for a nationwide internal contest in their charitable giving division, and we won first place. The prize was that they would produce a commercial in conjunction with CNN's Champions for Change series. You can see the 60-second version on the CNN website still. This video on this page is the full 3-minute version. It's made by professionals, and its really, really good (if I do say so myself). Thank you very much to the good people at Schwab. |
