Tonight while I was on Facebook, a good friend of mine posted a status about the American Giving Awards that will be broadcast on NBC December 8th, 2012. He sees the show as a pomp and circumstance sham that only allows the network to make money off "a good deed." While I didn't agree wholeheartedly with his point of view, I do see how he would conclude that perception.
As someone who is in the middle of turning an organization into an official 501 (c)(3) charity, I see the awards show in a different light. I am pleased that Chase and NBC have teamed up to broadcast such an event. Organizations that normally wouldn't be spotlighted are receiving the recognition they deserve. Not to mention Chase is giving away $2 million dollars to 5 charities. It is a great way for charities to get their name out there and hopefully are able to network with one another for the common good.
It will instill that old adage "faith in humanity" to the viewers. With so much violence and tragedy on the tube, even if the network does make a profit, it will be a blessing to see something positive for a change. If you would like to vote for the charity of your choice, toggle on over to http://www.facebook.com/ChaseCommunityGiving and watch the American Giving Awards December 8th, 2012 on NBC.
Hopefully, one day you will see Campaign Loud be a part of the event. Until then, what is your stance on such an awards show? For? Against? Comment below and let us know.
