This week last year, our documentary North Carolina Giving: Philanthropy Across Cultures & Communities made its first appearance on television (UNC-TV, 11/9/2009). To celebrate, we're going to give away a $100 donation to one winner's charity of choice! Five second-place winners will receive a copy of the North Carolina Giving DVD.
Be a champion for your favorite charity ~ submit your story and you could help them win $100!
North Carolina Giving Anniversary Contest: How to Enter
