Donald Davenport, Writer
 
Donald Davenport has been active in the entertainment industry for over three decades, starting with his first film, Doomsday Ward, which was awarded the Gold Medal at the Houston International Film Festival in 1977. 
 
Davenport, however, is perhaps best known for his critically acclaimed Hallmark movies, beginning with Expecting A Miracle,  starring Jason Priestly, Teri Polo and Cheech Marin, and followed by Love Finds A Home, the final installment of Janette Oke’s hugely successful “Love Comes Softly” series, starring Oscar-winning actress, Patty Duke.
 
Christmas in Canaan, based on Davenport’s best-selling book, co-authored by country legend Kenny Rogers and starring Billy Ray Cyrus, provided Hallmark with its highest rated film of 2009, winning the night and week, as well as lofting the network to its highest historical weekly rating.  It was followed by a well-received sequel, Christmas Comes Home to Canaan, in 2011.
 
Other films include Christmas at Cadillac Jacks, starring Oscar-nominated actress, Talia Shire, along with Joseph Campanella and Ruta Lee, while his most recent project, the independent feature film, Hell and Mr. Fudge, was awarded platinum at the 2012 Houston/WorldFest Film Festival.

THe Foote's

Foote Family, Story Based On Our Son

The Foote family is like any family in America. They work hard, go to church, love adventure, are active and no matter what they do, they do it as a family. 

None of that changed on October 19, 2004 when their son Trey was diagnosed with cancer. The entire family laced up their boots and attacked cancer.

Throughout  their journey with cancer they never lost their faith and determination, and happiness. Trey and the family never let Trey's situation control their attitude. 

The family was blessed to have the love and support of their entire community and for that they are eternally grateful. 

And the fight continues! In 2007 the Foote family started the Trey Foote Foundation. A non-profit dedicated to cancer education, cancer research and awarding an annual scholarship. Since forming,  the Trey Foote Foundation has awarded almost $100,000 in scholarships and funding cancer research projects at OHSU and Children's Cancer Therapy Development Institute. 

Together we will finish the fight cancer started!
