About This Video Project

We created a two minute about us video for the Marty Lyons Foundation combining a past interview with Marty along with footage from previous events enhanced with animation and a scripted voice over. This video was played for everyone who attended the Marty Lyons Celebrity Golf Classic and continues to beautifully convey the foundation’s mission to bring joy and hope to critically ill children by granting their most cherished wishes.

Since its inception in 1982, the Marty Lyons Foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 8,500 families, raising over $43 million to make dreams come true for children battling life-threatening illnesses. Each wish, costing an average of $6,700, is a testament to the power of compassion and generosity. With 76 cents of every dollar directly supporting families, your contributions play a vital role in our mission.

Operating 11 chapters across 14 states, the foundation is dedicated to transparency and accountability, earning top ratings from Charity Navigator, Great Nonprofits, and Candid. The video highlights the foundation’s unique approach of considering a second wish for children who continue to fight their illness, offering unwavering support and the courage to keep dreaming.

Transcription

In 1982, the Marty Lyons Foundation began with a single heartfelt mission to bring moments of joy and hope to critically ill children by granting wishes that make their dreams come true. Since that day, we have touched the lives of over 8,500 families, raising over $43 million to grant wishes that offer a beacon of light in their darkest times. These precious wishes cost an average of $6,700 each, and your support is crucial to our mission. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. And with 76 cents of every dollar going directly to supporting our families, you can rest assured your support truly changes lives. The Marty Lyons Foundation operates 11 chapters in 14 states now, working tirelessly to reach as many children as we can. This dedication goes hand in hand with our commitment to transparency and accountability, earning us top ratings on Charity Navigator, Great Nonprofits, and Candid, which underscores our dedication to those we serve. The Marty Lyons Foundation grants wishes to children ages 3 to 17, and what really makes this foundation so special is our willingness to grant not only a first wish, but also consider a second wish to a child who continues to battle a life-threatening illness. We stand by these children, offering them hope and strength through the power of dreams, giving our children the courage to wish for more. What’s your purpose in life? Is your purpose in life to live in the big house and drive the nice car? No. Your purpose in this life is to make it a little bit better for those that follow and realize that we live for today to see a better tomorrow.
