Lightswitch Becomes Behind the Scenes Pledge-a-Service Partner

Lightswitch has become the newest Behind the Scenes Pledge-a-Service Partner by pledging to donate a percentage of their design fees to the charity. For more than twenty-five years, Lightswitch has been committed to changing the way people experience their world. The company describes itself as a consortium of internationally recognized lighting, media and visual designers who create unforgettable experiences where people live, work, learn, and play. Whether for a concert, an event, an experiential environment, or an architectural project, they use a balance of artistry, practicality, and technical ability to create memorable, compelling, and responsible lighting and visual design. This core principle guides their team of dedicated designers who serve clients from their full-service studios around the world.

Upon presenting their first check for $1,000, Howard Werner, partner and principal, states, "As people that have worked in the entertainment industry for our entire careers the people of Lightswitch have had our share of personal setbacks. We fully support those in our industry that are in need and are very happy to be a part of Behind the Scenes and the effort to help our brothers and sisters in their time of need."

"We are thrilled to welcome Lightswitch as a Pledge-a-Service Partner," says Rick Rudolph, the chair of Behind the Scenes. "Having a company of their stature and vision participate in the program is extremely important to the charity both in spreading the word to those in need that help is available and in encouraging others in the design community to join them in supporting the work of Behind the Scenes."

The Behind the Scenes charity provides entertainment technology professionals who are seriously ill or injured with grants that may be used for basic living and medical expenses.
