ABOUT
Paying It Forward is a mini-documentary series showcasing 34 short stories about the inspirational people behind Live Wright's six causes: Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's and Colitis, Aging out of Foster Care, Lou Gehrig's Disease, Organ Transplant, and Music Brings (Healing and Hope). The series is kickstarted by the extraordinary tale of Live Wright's Founder, Milly Xu and the sacrifices she made for her family during China's Culural Revolution. The mini-series was debuted at Dallas Pays It Forward!, a Live Wright event at the House of Blues this past March. Through art, film and live performance, our goal was to show the 500+ attendees how to give back. Dallas Pays It Forward! was an eclectic event with a lineup of 50+ talented musicians, artists, and dancers from Dallas, New York, Nashville and China. |
