Some of the team and our guests attended and had an incredible night at MANNA’s 2024 Main Course event! Held at the stunning Switch House in, we kicked off the evening with a cocktail hour and a million delicious bites of food by top chefs like Joey Baldino, Melissa McGrath, Marc Vetri, and more. We enjoyed a seated dinner by chef chairs Amanda Shulman and Alex Kemp, followed by an exciting live auction and paddle raise to support MANNA’s amazing work. A few of our videos that we've produced for MANNA were also shown throughout the night. The finale for the night was an awesome performance by the legendary Martha Graham Cracker! We've absolutely loved working with MANNA over the years. They harness the power of nutrition to improve health outcomes for individuals with serious illnesses, providing them with the nourishment they need to heal. Through medically tailored meals and nutrition education, they empower people to enhance their health and quality of life. Huge thanks to MANNA for hosting such an incredible and impactful evening! At the end of the night, they raised a total of nearly $485,000 shattering previous Main Course fundraising records! #NonprofitVideo #CharitableCauses #MANNA #FoodisMedicine #Philadelphia #GiveBack #PeopleFocused #VideoProduction #2020VisualMedia
