What do you call this group of actors who love music and want to have some fun while raising money for charitable causes? BAND FROM TV!

"Hoggin' All The Covers" is the soon to be released debut DVD/CD featuring a collection of some of music's most beloved songs. This DVD/CD package will highlight the band's passion for classic rock and roll with live performances of such well-known songs such as "Mustang Sally," "Will It Go Round In Circles," "Feelin' Alright," "Pink Cadillac," and "Lean on Me." Shot in front of a live audience on a state-of-the-art sound stage at Center Staging in Los Angeles in July of 2007, the performance was filmed utilizing twelve high definition cameras and recorded in 5.1 digital surround-sound.
"Hoggin' All The Covers" will also include never before seen behind-the scenes footage of how the production came to be as well as rehearsals, band interviews, candid interaction amongst the band members, information on the vast array of charities who will benefit from the sales of this package and, of course, the pranks and mayhem that took place during the filming.
All of the celebrities have a charity they support: as does the production entitiy. Band From TV is all about giving, with the majority of money raised from both gigs and the sale of the DVD/CD package being donated back to help the wonderful charities in their endeavors.

Participating as a corporate sponsor or partner with the Band From TV has many different and distinct advantages due to its uniqueness in the marketplace as well as its already established celebrity strength including but not limited to:
Star Power: NBC/ABC/FOX; Three of the top-rated and most watched shows on network television: Heroes/Desperate Housewives/House - generating over 45 million viewers in the U.S each week; add in The View (ABC) and Cashmere Mafia (ABC); established actors Greg Grunberg, Hugh Laurie, James Denton, Bob Guiney, Bonnie Somerville; Emmy nominated shows and actors; international audience for all shows; national and international fan clubs for the actors numbering in the millions; group and individual public relations favorites: all equals a recipe of unmatched and dynamic worldwide exposure and name recognition.
Flexibility in Corporate Structure/Sponsorship/Partnership: Participating in and with the Band From TV's debut DVD/CD is more than just a sponsorship: we have developed a flexible structure that creates a unique opportunity to become an active partner in this project. Your company/brand can potentially become a proactive leader that will be able to utilize this unparalleled star power to design/create your own arena for driving sales through incentive-laden promotions, specialty advertising, publicity and sweepstakes: reaching and targeting, not only your existing consumers, but even opening the doors to an untapped and even expanded core of new consumers. Unlike most sponsored events, we welcome the opportunity to create out-of-the-box sponsorship levels that are more interactive and marketing driven. Hence, in many cases, our corporate sponsors and partners are asked to offer up sponsorship dollars to purchase the DVD/CD packages and in turn, utilize them in their active and existing marketing campaigns.
Shelf Life: Unlike one or day events, this is a highly visible retail package that will sustain a great deal of shelf life. Due to the nature of the charitable causes, the band and its charities will work to promote and publicize this package with heartfelt passion not found in most opportunities such as this.
Charity Scope, Reach and Database: The Band From TV was created by Greg Grunberg as a vehicle to help raise money for a variety of charitable causes. And, rather than just attach his name to a charity, this project hits home for Greg as his eldest son has epilepsy. Having band mates share this passion for charities has led to creation of the Band From TV Global Charity Trust Fund with almost all of the bands proceeds benefiting notable charities including the National Epilepsy Foundation, Save the Children, NRDC, National Myloma Foundation and others. The key here is that these charities are not just willing to be silent beneficiaries. On the contrary, it is their dedication and support of this project that will have them actively marketing this DVD/CD package to their extensive databases (in the millions) and their corporate sponsors as well as utilizing their own marketing avenues to assist in helping to raise both awareness and funds so all will benefit from the success of this project.
Potential Inclusion in Band From TV 2_ All potential corporate partners/sponsors will have the opportunity to have a first right of refusal to participate in any/all future Band From TV projects.
