School?
It's back to school time.
Can your school deliver?
Encourage your (or your child's) school to participate in ART 180's Change for a Ten project. Start the year off with a little creativity and community service.
Will your class participate?
We need your HELP! Let us know if you can reach out to your school and engage students, faculty, staff, and parents to make $10 bills for change. Visit www.art180.org/ten. It's ART 180's 10th anniversary. To celebrate 10 years of change, art, and children we are asking you to make your own $10 bill about what you would change in the community. Send along with a real $10 contribution to ART 180. Have fun and make a difference. It's easy. But we can't do it without YOU.

Communications Professional?
Are you an art director/designer, copywriter...or other communications professional?
There are a lot of rewards for creating inspiring communication. In this case, it’s knowing you’ve helped give a voice to hundreds of deserving young people.
Ok, ok, you could win something too.
Enter the Challenge Co-Sponsored by The Richmond Ad Club
Your Change for a Ten submission will be judged by Jelly Helm of Wieden+Kennedy’s 12, and the winners will receive creative bragging rights, along with a little something to show off on their desk. The organization with the most submissions will be recognized too, so the more cohorts you get on board, the better.
To participate, just write “Jelly” on the back of your submission to be entered in this contest! And if you are part of an agency/organization, go ahead and add that in after your name.
Send submissions with donations to ART 180 | 0 East 4th St #56 | Richmond, VA 23224
or email them to 180@art180.org and donate the real $10 through Network for Good (art180.org/donate). Deadline: 9-15-2008
You don’t have to be an art director, or even a creative, to join in. You just need something to say. And we know you’ve all got that.
Visit www.art180.org/ten to download a flyer and post it in your agency!
