Hope Away From Home
This fundraising film, directed, produced, and edited by Gabe Gentry, was created for the 20th Century Club of Little Rock’s annual Hope Ball, helping to break the organization’s fundraising record that year. The video highlights the vital work of the 20th Century Club’s Lodge, which provides no-cost housing, meals, and a compassionate community for cancer patients undergoing treatment in Little Rock. Through intimate storytelling and heartfelt testimonials, the film underscores the impact of hope, dignity, and support at a time when patients need it most.Winthrop Rockefeller

This award is presented at the Inspiration Gala, an annual event that raises funds for the organization. Thanks to leadership of the Smiths, a barrier to the pursuit of justice on behalf of victims of childhood sexual abuse in Arkansas has now been removed.The Bobby Roberts
