CEO Artist Mark Nelson's "Mendoza Benefit Promotion" 2011

A short promotion for the anticipated Celebration and FUNDRAISER Benefit for Francisco Mendoza at the National Museum of Mexican Art. Mr. Mendoza, an artist and Public School Art Teacher has dedicated his talent and profession to the youth and community of Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. In 2010, while on sick leave fighting bone marrow cancer, he was callously terminated as a Chicago Public School teacher of 25 years, losing his health coverage at the most critical turning point in his battle to heal. This video short was used to promote a fundraiser that took place on February 27, 2011. Out takes from a half hour documentary were used to assemble this short to inform friends, professionals, mentors, neighbors, and former students. Produced and Edited by Mark Nelson 2011 with footage of 10-20-10 Chicago Teachers Union Press Conference provided by CAN TV.
