Foster care commercial series by CFCA

I ran across Evan Davis' blog recently:
http://www.evandavis.name/

He has created a series of commercials for the Christian Family Care Agency, which will be broadcast on TV and Cable throughout Southern Arizona.

Evan Davis is hoping to find other foster care and adoption agencies, particularly in Utah or Arizona, who could benefit from the use of these commercials. He's willing change the logo and contact information at the end so that these TV spots could potentially be used by anyone who needs them.

Here is an example of one of his commercials:

Illinois - Foster kids are our kids

I was very impressed by this website: http://www.fosterkidsareourkids.org/

Foster care is a community effort. Everyone can play a role.

Perhaps not everyone can be a foster parent, but they can:
-Mentor a foster child
-Volunteer at a foster care agency
-Donate money, or help with fundraising
-Join the foster of a foster care agency

Do you know what else I was impressed with?
The fact that 64 child welfare agencies collaborated to create a campaign to help foster children. They didn't cast stones at one another. They didn't compete with each other for funding. They stood together to make this campaign happen.

"Don't Write Me Off: Foster Kids Are Our Kids," represents a partnership of child welfare agencies from every region of the state spearheaded by Voices for Illinois Children.

They are currently sharing their message through print advertisements. billboards, subway/bus advertisments and Spanish language radio promotions.

It's a unique campaign. Speaking as a foster child, I often felt that I was "nobody's child." Yet this advertising campaign is designed to remind the public that foster children are everybody's children and that everyone can play a role.
