The video transforms abstract program descriptions into visceral, relatable moments that drive giving decisions. By showing the joy, care, and community happening in rEcess, the video makes the case that donations don’t just fund a program—they create belonging and respite for families navigating extraordinary challenges. For the Night of 99 fundraiser, this becomes the emotional centerpiece that moves attendees from interest to action, directly impacting funds raised and mission sustainability.
