Kalen’s Make-A-Wish story with the Washington Capitals sets the bar in terms of thinking about the type of content to highlight coming from a professional sports organization. Although the elite athletes are known for their sports skills, they are also role models for the community. It is important to showcase all areas of the players' personalities and interests so as to encourage the next generation of athletes to think beyond the game, and what they want their legacy to be off the ice (or field, or court). Objective Caps Red Line gives fans a glimpse at the best on and off the ice stories surrounding the Washington Capitals. Caps Red Line had the opportunity to follow along Kalen Anderson, a 16-year-old cancer survivor and Capitals fan. Make-A-Wish granted Kalen’s dream of getting to be a part of the Washington Capitals, skating along her favorite player T.J. Oshie, and being honored at the annual Hockey Fights Cancer game. CRL gives fans behind-the-scenes access to the players they know and love as they help put some good into the world one wish or act of kindness at a time. Strategy & Execution By following Capitals players as they show compassion and go the extra mile to put a smile on their fans’ faces, Caps Red Line humanizes elite professional athletes. This gives fans the opportunity to become more invested in both the players and the causes/organizations that they support. For example, other die-hard T.J. Oshie fans may see his work in helping Kalen with Make-A-Wish and be inspired to donate or get involved. This has a ripple effect outward of positivity and changes for good. Conversely, those that may have also been affected by cancer or had a Make-A-Wish experience may feel a special connection to a player that helped support an organization close to their heart. ** Nominations ** - Best Engagement for Good **Organizations** - Monumental Sports and Entertainment **Links** - [  Website ](https://www.monumentalsportsnetwork.com/videos/caps-red-line-season-2-episode-7-hockey-fights-cancer) **Credits** **[ Jim Kowats](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jkowats/) ** Executive Producer Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ David Konschnik](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-konschnik-355b992/) ** Series Producer Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Meredith Nutting](https://www.linkedin.com/in/meredith-nutting/) ** Producer Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Joseph Kirchner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-kirchner-30348a28/) ** Editor Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Anne Marie Huntington](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-marie-h-535a80b1/) ** Associate Producer Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Catherine Allocco](https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherine-allocco/) ** Associate Producer Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Patrick Stump](https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-stump-81b21b266/) ** Assistant Editor Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Brett Wiley](https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-wiley-427a5979/) ** Director of Photography Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Alexa Landestoy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexa-landestoy-a6b7a3139/) ** Host Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Stephanie De Lancey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniedelancey/) ** Field Producer Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Aimée Brillhart](https://www.linkedin.com/in/aimeebrillhart/) ** Vice President, Production Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Greg Breazeale](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregbreazeale/) ** Audio Technician Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Spencer Smith](https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-23850130/) ** Audio Technician Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Alex Diamond](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-diamond-5b031448/) ** Camera Operator Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Zachary Jamieson](https://www.zachjamieson.com/about) ** Camera Operator Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Mansa Johnson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/twin-mansa-johnson-7a3574187/) ** Camera Operator Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Cameron Reeve](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameron-r-49595096) ** Camera Operator Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Jeff Ricker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-ricker-784647a2/) ** Camera Operator Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Amy Boyce](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-boyce-6527367/) ** Director of Production Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Scott Silberstein](https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-silberstein-6b598a124/) ** Sr. Media Manager Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Delaney Murtaugh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/delaney-e-ruth/) ** Sr. Manager of Creative Operations Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Amina Ragheb](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amina-ragheb-74050519/) ** Post Production Coordinator Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Patrick Hare](https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickhare/) ** Production Manager Monumental Sports and Entertainment **[ Alexandra Kreger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-kreger/) ** Production Manager Monumental Sports and Entertainment #### INSPIRED TO ENTER WORK?
