Upload Video for Chance to Win $10,000 for Charity
CBS Films’ upcoming release of Extraordinary Measures, starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford, is inspired by the true story of John Crowley – a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds to pursue a cure for his children’s life threatening disease.
To celebrate Crowley’s story, CBS created an opportunity for charities – big and small – to compete for a donation of $10,000 just by uploading an inspirational video onto their Inspirational Quilt. And you can visit the Quilt and cast your vote for your favorite video.
Some fantastic videos have been uploaded to the Inspirational Quilt and are already in the running for the $10,000 donation- including the story of Alexandra “Alex” Scott, a young cancer patient who, facing a grim diagnosis, insisted on setting up a lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer before succumbing to the disease at age eight. Her stand evolved into a national lemonade stand initiative and foundation which has since raised over $25 million for the cause.
Other videos highlight a mountaineer with Multiple Sclerosis who encourages and inspires other MS patients to find their own “mountains” to conquer, an inner city childrens’ center in Harlem, and two women who joined forces to build a playground equipped for special needs children.
If you’d like to enter for the chance to win $10,000 for a charity of your choice, just follow these simple instructions:
· Go to the Inspirational Quilt and click on Upload Your Story. Once your video is uploaded, you will be entered into the sweepstakes for a chance to designate the charity of your choice to receive $10,000.
· Be sure to tell your friends to vote to increase your chances of winning.
