One of the oldest Hollywood organizations, this prestigious group has been encouraging the production of diverse and international family oriented films and television programs for almost 80 years. We promote civic-minded, educational and cultural programs of
exceptional merit and present GOLDEN HALO awards for the best in movies, television, stage plays, and the performing arts.
