808 Post’s Sedric Sawyer, New Business Development Director at 808 Post, recently supported the First Annual Patricia Cunningham Health Festival in Downtown Las Vegas. Billed as a community event to provide affordable health care for all citizens, the Patricia Cunningham Health Festival took place Saturday, October 10th, at the Red Moon Dialysis Center at 900 S. Main Street. People attending were offered blood pressure, eye and dental screenings, seasonal flu shots, glucose level tests, and were provided with information on breast cancer, health and fitness advise, and treatment referrals for more serious situations. In addition, there was free food, music and entertainment, and a physicians’ roundtable discussion on topics such as health care reform, the H1N1 virus, and the importance of early detection in medical treatment.

The Three Square DISH Fund Raiser proved to be a great success. 808 Post has an on-going commitment to Three Square and is currently working on a highlight video of the event. A number of videos were produced for the event. Wanderlei Silva had fun with a few knives at Hachi, with Chef Linda Rodriguez. Louie Anderson and Rick Moonen were elbow deep in clams at RM Seafood. Finally, the “happiest mayor in the world” helped Kerry Simon out with some ribs at Simon.

A national model project, Three Square is a community collaborative partnership with the gaming industry, businesses, non-profit agencies, food distributors, UNLV, the CCSD, governmental entities, the media and hundreds of volunteers to efficiently and effectively serve food and hope to the Las Vegas Valley’s hungry.

808 has been producing and donating services for Three Square each of the last three years. Mark Ott, the President of 808 Post and Production, says “I wanted to give back to the community and support a great cause.” John Stocker, Senior Editor at 808, adds “It’s important to not pull back from doing your part to help the community.” In spite of the current economic conditions, 808 continues to increase its level of support for Three Square.
