Human Puppy Mill in existence in the United States
Upon hearing the plight of so many young men, women and children trapped as modern day slaves Diana Davis felt compelled to create a film calling attention to the victims. Using her film as a fundraising tool to rescue the survivors, and fight modern day slavery, MoviesMakingADifference was born.
“When I found that no one was doing anything about this wide-spread atrocity in our own country, where so-called “church” elders were claiming young girls as their wives in order to have them give birth to as many babies as possible. The boys would be used for child labor and the girls would be human puppy mills. I was horrified that they could get away with this by calling it a ‘religion’. Then when I started meeting these amazing survivors, I couldn’t just make a movie to raise awareness and leave them to fend for themselves. So I created the 501c3 to use proceeds from the film along with private donations to directly help these heroic people out of their horrific circumstances,”said Diana Davis.
With their first feature film “Cathedral Canyon”, winner of the “Audience Choice for Best Feature Film”, at the Palm Beach Film Festival 2014, the team shed light on the plight of the child brides from these current day polygamist sects who have little resources to escape.
Because of the generosity of viewers that were outraged by what they saw, they found homes and vocational training opportunities for the escaped “Child Brides” and “Lost Boys”, (teenage boys as young as 12 tossed aside by the elders when seen as competition). They have assisted over 50 young women, men and children and many have now joined our organization to give back and help others like themselves.
Their co-founder Chip Williams, of Lake Worth, FL a Certified Addictions Professional and Recovery Support Specialist, opened his home as a ‘Safe House’ welcoming those in need on a temporary basis who are in immediate danger, until proper treatment is found, most often at Faith Farm in Boynton Beach, Fern House in WPB or PAX Campus in Lake Worth, FL. He has traveled to Colorado City and such places to educate and give counseling for drug and alcohol which so many turn to as a means of escape.

Palm Beach Philanthropists and Hollywood stars participate in upcoming film ‘Cult Cartel’.
MoviesMakingADifference is currently in post-production of their next feature film “Cult Cartel”, exposing even more than they were able to present in their award winning “Cathedral Canyon”. Filming started in and around Palm Beach last March and included many of their local supporters. They also filmed in the actual town of Colorado City, (home of self-proclaimed prophet Warren Jeffs that is doing life in a TX prison for crimes against underage girls) to shoot the majority of the film with the blessing of the townspeople. They also employed many of the actual survivors behind and in front of the camera, giving them an outlet to express themselves and tell their stories with the care and support of those of us that love them and brought $25,000 into the destitute community of Colorado City where the average annual income is $6,228.
The film stars Donny Most (Happy Days) and Jud Tylor (That 70s Show and Charlie Wilson’s War), Winsor Harmon (The Bold & The Beautiful) and Young Barlow (real life survivor of Warren Jeffs brutal regime, excommunicated at age 14 to the streets of Las Vegas). Executive Producers are Conrad N. Hilton III and Julia Rosengren.

Mary Mahoney and Black River Caviar give back to Hope For Depression Foundation through the Holiday Season
Black River Caviar and Worth Avenue’s Mary Mahoney have joined forces to support Hope for Depression Research Foundation this holiday season, following a highly successful kick off for the upcoming inaugural Palm Beach Race of Hope. The kick off event was hosted by HDRF Founder and Chair Audrey Gruss and co-chair Scott Snyder, at Sant Ambroeus on Friday, December 7th.
A festive cocktail for over 200 guests was followed by a by-invitation only dinner for committee members, patrons and sponsors. Once guests were seated, Audrey and Scott welcomed them, thanked them for their support, and introduced the evening’s top sponsor, Graham Gaspard, CEO of Black River Caviar. The guests savored a Black River Caviar sampler of: Tradition Oscietra with toasted brioche and creme fraiche, Royale Oscietra with quail egg and creme fraiche, and Imperial Oscietra on blini and mashed potato, paired with prosecco. Each guest was gifted a mother of pearl caviar spoon and black velvet pouch to take home.
Guests were invited to place orders and promised 50% of proceeds from orders placed that night would be donated to HDRF; Over $8,000 was raised for the cause that evening, and inquiries continue to come in for orders.
Due to the overwhelming response from locals supporting this great cause, Mary Mahoney store on Worth Avenue has offered to donate 25% of proceeds from orders placed to Hope for Depression. “This will make it a whole lot easier for locals to purchase on the spot,” announced Graham Gaspard. The offer is valid through January 27th, the day of the marathon.
These orders can only be placed personally by calling Mary Mahoney at 561.655.8288

Celebrity-studded event benefits The American Cancer Society November 14th
Jack and Barbara Nicklaus will be the guests of honor at its 50th Annual 19th Hole Club event on November 14, 2018 in Palm Beach, Florida to benefit the American Cancer Society. This year’s event will be held on The Breakers garden-like Front Lawn in a lush, tropical setting.
Started in 1968 with Jack Nicklaus, Julius Boros, Bob Hope and Perry Como, the annual event has been hosted by more than 80 different professional golfers and other celebrities with the aim of raising funds for cancer research, education and service. Over the past fifty years, the program has included exhibition golf matches, luncheons and clinics. It’s now celebrated with an evening social soirée and recognized as one of Palm Beach’s “must attend” affairs.
“Barbara and I are honored to be a part of the 19th Hole Club’s five decades since we first became involved in this special cancer-fighting initiative,” said Nicklaus. “Like so many others, we have been touched by cancer and we are hopeful for the day that we can end the pain and suffering of cancer.”
Arlette Gordon, chairman of the American Cancer Society’s Palm Beach Board of Trustees commented, “We’re thrilled to have the “Golden Bear” returning with his wife Barbara as our Guests of Honor this year as we celebrate the event’s golden anniversary. Jack and Barbara have been dedicated and generous partners in the fight against cancer since Jack first help launch the event in 1968. We’re looking forward to honoring them this year for their continued support in the fight against cancer.”
In addition to Arlette Gordon, the event’s Host Committee includes Cindy Cerone, Diana and Llwyd Ecclestone, Toby Hartz, Homer Marshman, Jr., Tom Quick, Renee and Donald Scott, and Cory Valentine.
The 2018 19th Hole Club is presented by Addison Hines Charitable Trust and will feature elaborate food stations, a glow-in-the-dark putting contest, chipping contest and a remote-controlled car ‘driving’ contest. Event corporate partners include NetJets, Braman Motorcars, Hamilton Jewelers and Meat Market restaurants.
The 19th Hole Club raises money through memberships, which start at $1,500. Memberships include participation in the November 14 event and all other members-only events throughout the year. A limited amount of $100 gift certificates to Meat Market Palm Beach are available for those purchasing tickets before September 15.
