Philanthropy

DC3 and its staff are active in supporting various charities, most notably ones for Haiti. The trip was known as Plane to Haiti and DC3 enlisted the support of many artists they work with for this mission, including Godsmack, David Archuleta, Julianne Hough, New Kids on the Block, Scott Stapp, Alter Bridge, and others. They partnered with the Wheelchair Foundation, Medishare, and Partners in Heath. They transported over 35 medical professionals to Haiti and set up their own medical clinics and treated over 1,000 patients. They were one of the first relief groups to go to Leogone, where the epicenter was only 7 days after the earthquake that struck Haiti in early 2010.

DC3 is a major supporter of the Wheelchair Foundation, Creative Visions and the Global Adolescent Project. Their staff regularly makes trips to third world countries on relief missions and they often raise money to support these charities.[2]

World Record

In 2009 DC3 Music Group produced the DVD Creed Live. The show aired live to United States military troops all over the world on the American Forces Network. DC3 was awarded four Guinness World Records for this show, the most notable one for the most amount of cameras used in a live concert recording. DC3 used a total of 249 HD cameras to capture the show. The previous record was Justin Timberlake at Madison Square Garden with 47 cameras. There was an adjudicator on hand to certify the amount of cameras and present the award to the band and the DC3 team on stage in front of over 20,000 fans after the show. The show was produced by Peter Bowers and Lionel Pasamonte, and directed by Daniel Catullo.
