How nonprofits can get into the script of Hollywood’s big new campaign about volunteering
From October 19-25, more than 60 network TV shows will spotlight the power and personal benefits of service with storylines and characters talking about volunteering. VolunteerMatch is making sure America's charitable organizations can play a role, too.
With the Obamas volunteering on MLK Day, the Major League Baseball All-Star Game video with five living Presidents, United We Serve, and the first-ever 9/11 Day of Service, it's already been an historic year of promotions about making a difference.
But the exciting dénouement comes next month, with the Entertainment Industry Foundation arranging for 60 TV shows to work service into their scripts.
Here's an easy way for America's nonprofit organizations to participate.
