Tuff Cookie Productions mentored three student filmmakers from Bresee to create two fundraising videos for Educate L.A.'s First Annual Charitable Giving Awards.

Over 70 hard-to-place kids were adopted from Texas state by 23 families in this small Texas community.

The Skaggs Institute was founded in 1997 by a generous donation to the Scripps Research Institute from the ALSAM Foundation. In ten years, the Skaggs Institute has become the second largest research institute in the country.

Tuff Cookie Productions produced a Capital Campaign video for the University of Utah's College of Pharmacy to help raise $50 - $70 million for a new building. The College of Pharmacy has been nationally ranked #4 or higher for the past 35 years, but all the departments are scattered all over campus. "We bring in over $28 million of federal grant monies annually," says Dean John Mauger. "With this new building, we'll be able to bring everyone together in one building so they can share resources and students."

This video we produced for the Club on Cincinnati Street has helped raise more than $4 million for a new facility in this East L.A. neighborhood. When kids who will benefit from the new Club talk about how they’ve lost family members to gang violence, it puts a very personal stamp on the need for a safe place to go in their neighborhood.

Judy Zdravje was hired to work in the Arts & Crafts Department at the Boys Club in Boyle Heights in the late 60s. She was the only woman working in this tough, east L.A. neighborhood. She rose up the ranks and ran the Club as its Executive Director before retiring after forty-two years of dedication to this Club.
