Webinar Video – Fenway Institute

admin — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:09:55 +0000

McElroy Films had the distinct pleasure to film several webinars for the Boston-based non-profit, Fenway Health, over the last half of 2013. The Fenway Institute, the research arm of the non-profit, uses the webinar videos to educate their own staff and the world at large as to the state of LGBT health including the HIV and AIDS epidemic domestically and abroad. The speakers go to great lengths to condense mountains of data into easy-to-comprehend findings, that help the LGBT community choose the best course of action when it comes to an array of health issues. Many of the webinars count as college credit for many universities in Boston and beyond.

Whether you are LGBT or know someone who is, the topics discussed are fascinating and really differ from popular and media assumptions on the gay community today. You can find more webinars here at the LGBT Health Education Center’s Vimeo page, but below is a teaser for the series of videos:

Let’s Get Ready

Often, McElroy Films is approached by non-profits looking for a video solution to help their fundraising efforts. In 2013, Let’s Get Ready, a non-profit with locations around New England and beyond, was looking to update their branding in time for their annual fundraising gala. We were able to work within their budget to create a video that describes the mission and successes of the programs. Let’s Get Ready helps kids who might not have the means to continue their education to get into college by helping them study for standardized tests like the PSAT and SAT as well as help them apply for scholarships and financial aid. The programs are broken into sessions that meet up to twice a week for a few hours and are taught completely by collegiate volunteers including many Let’s Get Ready alumni. Every year, the programs help over 3000 kids and raise SAT scores by about 110 points. Most rewarding is the knowledge that 92% of Let’s Get Ready students go directly to college.

Earlier this year, McElroy Films was asked to highlight Hillside School, an all-boys boarding school in Marlborough, MA. The unique school features top-notch academic facilities as well as vast outdoor spaces and a working farm with cute animals and a vegetable garden. One of the school’s biggest supporters throughout the years has been the Daughter of the American Revolution. As tribute, Hillside school dedicated a video to the DAR.
