Quarters From Kids on MTV's TRL
Today, Quarters From Kids will appear in the guest audience of MTV's popular show Total Request Live (TRL). I wonder how they pulled this off? In any case, what a powerful way to get the word out about your organization and its cause.
Unfortunately, Canada doesn't have MTV hence I can't watch today's TRL. Maybe someone out there can tell me how this special edition of TRL comes off. Thanks.
Some more details...
Dear Friends of Quarters From Kids,
I want to share some exciting news regarding Quarters From Kids!
Thursday at 5 p.m. EST/PST, 40 Quarters From Kids youth from 10 different coalition partner organizations will make up the audience of a special edition of MTV's Total Request Live.
As you may know, TRL is one of MTV's most popular programs, and Thursday they are airing a special episode on the tsunami. Quarters From Kids was chosen to fill the studio audience so that MTV could highlight the efforts of youth nationwide that are raising money to help the relief and rebuilding efforts in tsunami struck countries.
Organizations representing Quarters From Kids include City Heroes Alumni, City Year New York, College Summit, Do Something, Family, Career & Community Leaders of America, Henry Street School , High School for Global Citizenship, NetAid, and Youth Philanthropy Worldwide.
I am writing to personally urge you to watch tomorrow's TRL, to urge your friends to watch, and if you haven't already done so, to urge everyone you know to sign up at the Quarters From Kids website ! Thank you so much for all you've done to help relieve suffering, save lives and aid in the long-term recover of the children and adult survivors of the tsunami.
We have already accomplished much and, with your help, the coalition is growing every day.
Yours in service,
Rick Jakious
