Your generosity and friendship help us move ever forward in our commitment to building brighter futures for the children.

Our heartfelt thanks to you for your support of our endeavors!

Under Stephen’s direction, the studio develops and produces TV shows based on Hasbro’s world class brands, including Transformers, My Little Pony, Littlest

Stephen also oversees the company’s Film Group, which develops films based on Hasbro's brands, including Transformers 4 (Paramount), Stretch Armstrong (Relativity Media) and Candy Land (Sony); and oversees commercials and short-form content production.

Hasbro and The Help Group have a very special history. In 2010, Stephen cut the ribbon on the Hasbro Boundless Playground at The Help Group’s Autism Center. Stephen has continued his association with The Help Group as a member of our Circle of Friends Philanthropic Board.

Stephen serves on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of The National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE); is a member of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of PCI: Media Impact; is a member of the Board of Directors of The Hub; the Hollywood Radio & Television Society; and the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

HARRY WINSTON, INC

Harry Winston, Inc.’s generosity and a commitment to philanthropy began with the Company’s founder, Mr. Harry Winston, through his support of charitable organizations and the gift of the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian Institution. Today, the Company continues this legacy of philanthropy through the Harry Winston Charitable Program, dedicated to inspiring hope and changing lives through education.

Harry Winston’s Program comprises corporate giving and the Harry Winston Hope Foundation™. The corporate giving program includes direct donations by the Company to non-profit organizations in its Salon communities worldwide. The Harry Winston Hope Foundation, supported primarily by the Company, provides grants to select non-profit organizations that are principally focused on helping young people to obtain a quality education. The Harry Winston Charitable Program is bolstered by the generous volunteering of time and talent of Harry Winston employees globally.

The Harry Winston Hope Collection™ Bracelet, which launched in the Fall of 2012, was created to benefit seven leading charitable organizations that work toward improving the lives of children and adults in each of the Company’s Salon communities across the United States. Harry Winston’s goal is to provide vital support for its chosen organizations and to raise awareness of the important role each plays in inspiring hope and changing lives for those in need.

The Help Group is honored to have been selected by the Company as a beneficiary of the Harry Winston Hope Collection™ bracelet. Harry Winston is donating 100% of the retail sales price of the limited edition Harry Winston Hope Collection™ bracelet sold tonight at the Teddy Bear Ball and in the Beverly Hills Salon to The Help Group. The support received from Harry Winston will be used to establish The Harry Winston Media Studio equipped with state-of-the-art multi-media technology at The Help Group’s Sherman Oaks Campus.

The Help Group is pleased to present this year’s Corporate Philanthropy Award to Harry Winston, Inc. Randy Soto, Vice President of Retail for U.S. Salons, will accept the award on behalf of Harry Winston.
