Ever wanted to be featured in a national TV commercial? Or do you know someone who Lives United, and deserves to be in the spotlight for their efforts? United Way of America is conducting a Live United Story Search, hoping to find someone to feature in their commercials who is a great example of Living United. Here are the basic details:
Your video should illustrate how you’re working to make a difference in one or more of the following areas:
* Education: Helping children and youth achieve their potential through education
* Income: Helping families become financially stable and independent
* Health: Improving people’s health.
The video should describe how you give, advocate or volunteer in your community related to your chosen issue area, why you think this work is important and what lasting change you hope to influence.
So, your steps to stardom:
• Record your story in no more than 2 minutes of video.
• Upload the video between now and September 30 to LiveUnited.tv.
• Get your friends to vote for your story. If you’re from the Elgin area and you participate, let us know! We’ll help get the vote out for you.
