The Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) is connecting volunteers with THINK Together via it's iParticipate program, an exciting initiative to encourage more Americans to volunteer to support causes they care about like THINK Together. To see some of the THINK Together volunteer opportunities that EIF is sharing with others click here (change your ZIP if needed).EIF's mission is to harnesses the collective power of the industry to raise awareness and funds for critical health, educational and social issues in order to make a positive impact in our community and throughout the nation. People from every facet of the entertainment community – actors and executives; guild and union members; and employees of studios, networks and talent agencies – volunteer their time, talent and services to support our work.
Founded 67 years ago by Samuel Goldwyn and other Hollywood luminaries, EIF has raised millions of dollars for cancer research and prevention; diabetes awareness; education and creative arts; and other social programs.Next Monday, EIF will kick off a week-long television event starting running from October 19 - 25, 2009 to promote iParticipate and connect people with volunteer opportunities. Programs on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and other broadcast networks will spotlight service through scripted programming, segments and Public Service Announcements with inspirational messages, and storylines about volunteerism.

I actually stumbled upon this campaign because I love the band The Album Leaf, and their song “The Light” was featured in one of the commercials, but now that I’ve seen the ad, I’m really happy to see the entertainment industry giving back. Living in LA, it’s easy to just get caught up in all the negative and scandalous stories of Hollywood types, so I'm thrilled to see such a large-scale campaign of celebrities and people in power giving back to the community.
