The holiday season is a time for family. But for many young kids waiting to be adopted, it’s an especially lonely period. So Hugo&Dean (creatives at 72andSunny New York) wrote, directed and self-funded this personal project--a holiday PSA that, instead of selling materialistic things, sold the greatest gift you can possibly give, family.
There are currently more than 400,000 in foster care in the U.S. with more than 100,000 waiting to be adopted. Titled “The Greatest Gift,” this PSA aims to raise awareness of them, helping these youngsters to connect with their new families.
