CBS Announces Third Leadership Pipeline Challenge Winners, Awards $250,000 to L.A. Nonprofits


CBS has announced winners for the third edition of its Leadership Pipeline Challenge short film competition, which supports local L.A. nonprofits.

This year’s winning film, “Mi Ofrenda,” reflects the mission of Our House Grief Support Center, which accepted $100,000 donation from CBS, presented by Paramount Global president and CEO Bob Bakish. The short follows Isabella (Frania D. Dueñas), a depressed mother who goes through the difficult but cathartic process of coming to terms with the death of her own beloved father after finally beginning to grieve him properly. “These films are a testament to what happens when those with resources rally around changemakers with a story to tell,” said Lori Erickson, vice president of casting at CBS Entertainment and the initiative’s founder.
