WELCOME TO FAMILYFUN'S FOURTH ANNUAL VOLUNTEERS CONTEST!
Does your family volunteer together? FamilyFun wants to hear about what it is you do -- and why! Take a look at the stories of this year's winners, and the winners from 2006 for inspiration.


If you are one of five Grand Prize winners in the new contest, Disney will donate $5,000 to the 501(c)3 charity or public school of your choice; if you are one of 25 First Prize families, Disney will donate $1,000 to the charity of your choice. All families participating in the contest will receive a FamilyFun Volunteers' certificate. The contest ends March 31, 2008.

As part of the entry process, you'll be asked to answer the following questions:

Short Questions

• Which family members participated, and what did they do? Please give names, ages, and family relationshps. (Your family must consist of at least two persons, at least one of whom is less than 18 and one 18 or older.)
• What was the volunteering project and organization? Please be specific when naming organizations helped.
• How often and when did you volunteer?
• Approximately how many hours per person were spent on this project in 2007? Please list each person and their total volunteer hours.

Essay Questions

• What was special about the way you volunteered together as a family?
• How did your work benefit others or improve the community or world you live in?
• How did volunteering strengthen your family relationships?

NOTE: You'll probably want to take a moment to get your answers ready before entering (a good idea is to use a word processor, then paste your entries into the form), since all entry fields must be completed in one session.
So enter the FamilyFun Volunteers Contest! All you need to do is submit an entry by signing in (you must be a registered visitor).

We encourage families who entered last year's contest to enter again if they volunteered for a project in 2007. Please enter only if your family has not already won any awards for this project. There is only one entry per family, and all questions must be answered.
