Dear Friends & Supporters:

 

Greetings from THE POWER OF TWO team!  Thank you for following our progress thus far.  We're working hard to complete our feature documentary this fall in time for a premiere in early 2011, as well as maximizing our impact through our interactive online community and international call-to-action around Organ Donation and Transplantation, Cystic Fibrosis awareness and related health causes.
 
We are excited to announce this latest news: 
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
7 New Partners Already in 2010 

We're pleased to announce that we now have 22 non-profit Community Partners from the Cystic Fibrosis and Organ Donation & Transplantation communities, and beyond. We'd like to welcome the 7 organizations who have become Community Partners in recent weeks:

 

-          Cystic Fibrosis Services Pharmacy

-          CysticLife

-          Donate Life America

-          Donate Life California

-          Genetic Alliance

-          Second Wind Lung Transplant Association

With our Community Partners, we're unleashing fundraising and visibility efforts that will help us complete the film and expand our international call-to-action. For example, our newest partner, CysticLife, is helping us raise awareness of THE POWER OF TWO through its popular social network.

2 Powerful New Videos & A New Look On the Web

Already in 2010, we have released two new compelling web videos featuring highlights of our footage thus far. We hope you've had a chance to watch, enjoy, and share them with your friends, family and social media networks. In case you missed them, please check them out today:

 

CONVERSATIONS WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS MOMS (click here), a compilation of powerful excerpts of interviews with 7 inspiring mothers of children with Cystic Fibrosis. This video has been our most popular upload on our YouTube channel so far - pass it on!

 

THE POWER OF TWO: VIDEO-GRAMS (PREMIERE) (click here), the launch of a new web video series that highlights powerful and poignant reflections on the tag line of THE POWER OF TWO -- There Is A Miracle In Every Breath.

 

THE POWER OF TWO: VIDEO-GRAMS will be recorded at key CF and organ donation events in the coming months in partnership with a dynamic range of sponsors and nonprofits. For information on how you can collaborate with us on THE POWER OF TWO: VIDEO-GRAMS, please email us by clicking here.
