19 COMMUNITY In 1921, cinema pioneers created MPTF (then the Motion Picture Relief Fund) to act as a safety net of health and social services. Many workers in our business don't always know where their next paycheck will come from, thus MPTF was created by Hollywood's earliest entertainment luminaries such as Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and D.W. Griffith. Having realized the need for reaching out to those in the entertainment industry who fell upon hard times, it began with a simple coin box in Hollywood where entertainment industry work- ers would deposit spare change for fellow colleagues. Today, with the engagement and generosity of thousands of peo- ple from within the entertainment industry, the fund serves more than 150,000 people each year with healthcare, services, and retirement living. MPTF belongs to everyone in the entertainment business and our suc- cesses are embodied in the spirit of stepping up and giving back—just as the founders envisioned.
