ETC supports Behind The Scenes
- Details
The funds were collected from the most recent proceeds from ETC’s iRFR and aRFR Radio Focus Remote mobile applications that enable remote control of the Eos family consoles and controllers.
Fred Foster, ETC’s CEO, comments: “Over the years, it has become clear that this industry draws in great people that truly feel like family. We are honoured to be part of an industry where the whole spectrum of professionals, from technicians to designers to manufacturers, are so willing to contribute to BTS’s mission to support our colleagues in need.”
Rick Rudolph, chair of the BTS Board of Directors, adds: “ETC’s employees and customers should be enormously proud of what they are doing. At a time when feeding profits seems to be the motivating force for so many, ETC reminds us that this industry would not exist without the people who work so hard to bring the magic of entertainment to life and that we need to take care of each other.”
The Fred Foster Scholarships, which is awarded to children who need help to continue their educations, went to Maddy. She lost both her parents in quick succession, leaving her alone and in danger of forfeiting her dream of finishing her degree. Maddy wrote: “Both my mom and dad were very passionate members of the film industry. After their sudden and tragic loss, I decided to throw my energy into helping others as a school psychology graduate student. This gift will help ease my financial burden and help me continue to patch my life together. Thank you dearly for your kindness.”
The Behind the Scenes charity provides entertainment technology professionals who are seriously ill or injured with grants that may be used for basic living and medical expenses. For more information about Behind the Scenes, to donate, or to apply for a grant, visit www.behindthescenescharity.org.
