Our Charitable Causes
One of the greatest things about Creation Entertainment events is the
amazing generosity of the audience that attends them. From the very
start of Creation's existence in 1971 we've always strived to help to
raise money for worthwhile charities but as we've matured as adults
and a company (Creation was founded by two teenagers) we've been
thankfully able to devote more of our attentions to charity efforts.
We're very proud to say that Creation has been instrumental in raising
well over a million dollars for charity efforts over the years. With the
donation of Creation produced collectibles and merchandise that we
auction at our events, or through direct donations by Creation, our
partner production companies, or attending fans, our audience has
been generous to support our selected charities. We've tried to honor
charities that are meaningful to our fan base and also ones that really
do a good job in using their raised funds for helping rather than
administration.
Here are some of the more prominent charities we've become
associated with
in recent years:
The James W. Ellis, Jr. Scholarship of Hofstra University
"Special Thanks to Creation Entertainment and devoted fans and
celebrities for their continuous support of the James W. Ellis, Jr.
Scholarship"
In honor of Anita Ellis’ father who had colon cancer this scholarship
was established in 1997. Helping students who have had cancer
touch their lives, this scholarship has raised over $400,000 and has
helped a total of 350 students with their college education."
Starship Foundation (Lucy Lawless of Xena: Warrior Princess is on the board of this children's
hospital in New Zealand and we helped raise money in support at The
10th Anniversary Xena Convention)
"Many thanks for thinking of us and delivering this wonderful donation.
We're so lucky to have people like you and Lucy helping our cause"
And, from Robert Bruce, the late Kevin (Ares) Smith's best friend and
representative:
"Thanking you once again sincerely for your continued support. Sue
and the boys are all doing fine and are overwhelmed at the donations
that continue to come in."
One of the most fun things Creation Entertainment does each year is
help to sponsor and support our buddy William Shatner's annual
Charity Horse Show. It is an amazing lovingly produced weekend and
it is an honor for us to devote our time and energies to such a beautiful
cause. Come out and support Bill and make "the western scene!"
More recently we have begun to raise funds for MAKE-A-WISH, the
favorite charity of the producers of our friends at the Stargate SG-1 television
franchise.
We at Creation Entertainment pledge to continue our efforts to support
these and other worthwhile charities.
Your friends at Creation Entertainment |
