SALT LAKE CITY-(January 12, 1998) “the F.O.C.U.S (Film Offering Children and the Underprivileged Success) Institute of Film and the Institute at Deer Valley will hold a benefit concert on Saturday, January 17, 1998, 7:00PM, featuring celebrity actor/musicians such as, Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place), Cheech Marin, Rex Smith, Kim Cattrall, Steven Nichols (General Hospital), Rob Mullins and numerous surprise mega-stars (to be announced)-performing to benefit foster children’s college scholarships, F.O.C.U.S filmaker scholarships, and the Institute at Deer Valley’s scholarship program,” announced Cheryl DuBois, F.O.C.U.S’s co-president. Sponsored by Bonneville Worldwide Entertainment (BWE), Delta Air Lines, High Mountain Properties, and the Hollywood Reporter, the event will coincide with the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, offering festival goers and locals an exciting alternative.

Dubbed “ A NOTABLE ACT,” the concert will take place at the Silver Lake Lodge-mid mountain at Deer Valley Resort. “Aside from its advanced filmmakers mentorship program, F.O.C.U.S’s goal is to bring opportunity into the lives of children growing up with no parents or families to support them, by making higher education an attainable goal,” said Tom Alen, DuBois’ co-president. “Not only has F.O.C.U.S. designed a way for the motion picture industry to use its influence and resources to provide scholarships to thousands of foster youth in America, we have committed proceeds from upcoming events such as this one in Utah in January, and a grander version of “A Notable Act” in Los Angeles later in 1998, to enrich these underprivileged youths’ lives,” added DuBois. The Institute at Deer Valley, a non-profit organization, was founded in 1975 as the Snowbird Institute for the Arts and Humanities-making its move to Deer Valley Resort in 1996. The “Institute” supports the creation, and performance of new works in the arts, and the promotion of the humanities.
