“We could not be more excited to have been involved in this project for going on 3 years since our first meeting with Bad Robot about the possibility. We’ve now been a steering force on marketing campaigns for LOST, Breaking Bad and The Force Awakens, and to be able to involve charity in all three has been a dream come true. We hope to see you at this very special exhibit.”
May the force be with them in ending world hunger.
