We snapped the photo below as we entered McFadden's at Citizen Bank Park in Philadelphia on August 11, 2015.
Maybe it was a sign that we were about to knock one out of the park... but seven? Simply unimaginable. Our hearts stopped the first time we heard our name, and as it was called for that seventh time, one quote instantly came to mind.
"In order for people to succeed, all they need is a little nudge - someone to give them the opportunity."
There are so many of you that have given us - and continue to give us - that "nudge," and we will be forever thankful. The above remark was recently shared with us by Cops 'n' Kids Lehigh Valley President, Beverly Bradley during a memorable and meaningful conversation at The Bethlehem Chamber's 2015 Annual Dinner, and it was like everything came full circle.
A piece which premiered at that same Annual Dinner the year before, The Bethlehem Story, was the first video produced in the qualifying time frame for this year's Emmy® submissions. This story of Bethlehem's renaissance, hosted and narrated by Liz Keptner, ended up being one of our seven nominations!
