25th Annual Young Artists Awards

25th Annual Young Artist Awards (May 8th 2004)
Casey accepted this award on behalf of GFL and the children that GFL has had the privilege of meeting and working for over the past year, particularly, John Tacket and Ashley Hegi.
Casey would also like to thank in acceptance of the Michael Landon Award the following people for their contributions and support of GFL: Michael Hedtke; Frank Fabsits; Thom Bresh; Tommy Thompson; Daniel and Virginia Morris; Alan Rothman; Steve Delgado; the bands FARQ and Cradle; Martine Riggan and Rebecca Cohn; Robert Riccardelli; Jose Garcia; Simon Barron; Bill Boyrer; Davida and Anita from Italy; Dominique from France; Pascal from Hungary, Deb Mikesch from Midwestern Entertainers; Michael Angelo Batio; the Sterling family, and all of the musicians who have performed with us in the past.
At this ceremony, Casey also had the honor of introducing our pal Nick Sterling for a live performance. Nick also received an award for ‘Outstanding Young Rock Musician’. Nick is very deserving of this accolade not only for his talent, but also for his generous contributions to humanity and GFL.

		Maureen Dragone is the founder of Young Artist Awards. GFL presented her with the Guitars for Life Award for her consistent work with all the young TV and motion picture actors and actresses. GFL and Maureen hit it off so well. GFL helped the morning of the show to set up. I talked with Maureen and we asked her if we could take care of all the musical and stage choreographing for next years show. She said yes and that it would be an honor for her. We look forward to this huge opportunity; we will go all out for this one. Maureen Dragone is also involved with the International Press Association and her mother is founder of the Golden Globe Awards.

This is Scout Taylor from the Gilmore Girls. I talked with Scout and she seemed so interested in GFL on the day of the Young Artist Awards. Scout was so interested in our causes that she emailed me today and helped me understand her a lot more. Scout is not only among the elite Hollywood actresses but she has a golden heart for helping children as well. Scout is also involved in other charities. She helps the Ronald McDonald House and Kids with A Cause, which GFL would also like to work with in the future. Her mother taught her at a young age to help those children that are less fortunate in life. We are looking forward to talking and working out our involvement together. SCOUT TAYLOR and her MOM, YOU ROCK GIRLS!

Corey Feldman and Casey celebrate together their awards. Corey was the winner of the "Former Child Star Life Achievement Award". Casey received the "Michael Landon Award".

This is Amber Marshall. She played Elizabeth in the Elizabeth Smart Story on CBS.

GFL had the privilege and honor to introduce Nick Sterling. I introduced nick and he started playing from the back of the venue and strolled up to the stage and blew everyone’s mind. There was no doubt at all why he won the “Outstanding Young Rock Musician” award. GFL just can't wait for next year when we bring Nick back with his band.

Simon Barron is the one responsible for GFL being part of this wonderful event. His tireless participation just had to be recognized! We were proud to honor him with our GFL Trophy for his dedication and humbleness that leads others to high accomplishments. We will always be grateful to you Simon!

		Bill Boyrer was so helpful early in the morning before the awards show. We just did what we are well known for, helping 100%. Bill will always be a major instrument in all of our developments. Thank you Bill!
