I aim to please and help my readers. In line with that effort is another opportunity to win air fare, hotel and tickets for Obama's swearing-in. Below is information on how to win all this and more from the Case Foundation. Just a point of information, Case graduated from Punahou School, which also happens to be the high school where Obama graduated from. The below information is from the Case Foundation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Steve Case and his foundation are offering a chance for people to succeed with both of these by asking them to complete this sentence in 250 characters or less, "Change begins with me...I commit to..."
Visitors who answer that question on their Web site (www.casefoundation.org/change/) between now and January 12th at 3 PM EST will be entered to win 2 tickets to the Inaugural Ceremony, 2 tickets the Hawaii Inaugural Ball, 3 nights hotel, airfare for two, and a flip video camera. In addition, the person will be a part of DC's Martin Luther King's Day of Service on January 19th.
In addition, 9 runner-ups will each receive a $50 "Good Card" to donate to any charity of their choice.
The Case Foundation believes that people do want to make a difference in their community, our nation, and the world -- but many times, feel overwhelmed. The Foundation wants to encourage and demonstrate to people that any action -- big or small -- is enough to "Be the Change."
This is the initial kick-off to a year-long Case campaign to provide ongoing opportunities to serve, provide a venue for discussion and networking, share inspirational stories, invite participation with our innovative civic-engagement programs and catalyze action through mini-grants and other incentives, including:
* A survey reporting on the status of commitments;
* Spotlights on inspiring commitments to change;
* An online chat and Q&A series, highlighting government and non-profit leaders at the helm of change efforts; and
* Talk + Action = Change monthly mini-grant competitions for passionate individuals with innovative ideas about simple ways to connect with others in their communities, talk about what is needed, and then take action together.
