"THE CHALLENGE" PRODUCTION PICTURES

The film itself was a serious achievement.  I came prepared with the documentation on this project.  Being friends with Ray Rinaldi is one of the best things I have in my life.  He's a genuine human being with the biggest heart.  After getting to know him I've raised even more funds than what was pulled from the first Palace Theater event in 2007.  We now support each other in our endeavors and will continue to do so.  Hopefully there will be more of these functions in order to bring awareness to what Ray's cause stands for.  He's been helping troubled kids for more than 50 years.
