On Saturday and Sunday, November 12th & 13th the Entertainment Industry is coming together to help one of our own fulfill a final promise to his wife, and we need your help!
Longtime Location Manager and Local 399 Member George Herthel made his wife a simple promise: He would repaint the interior and exterior of their home.
Things became much more complicated, however, when George was diagnosed with Lou Gehrigs Disease, ALS, a debilitating disease that has taken away his ability to walk and speak. Obviously it has been devastating for George, his wife and family.
With the help of the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF), and through our affiliation with Rebuilding Together, George is making sure he keeps his word.
Come out and support your local “Brother” and make his promise come true…
