Want to really make a difference?

Then sign up now to participate in Make A Difference Day on Oct. 22 with millions of other philanthropists nationwide.

You can organize whatever project you want, from cleaning a beach to fundraising for breast cancer. Or look around your community and see what needs to be done. The possibilities are endless — and so are the rewards.

Make A Difference Day, the largest national day of helping others, is sponsored by USA Weekend Magazine and the more than 600 newspapers that carry it, including The Advertiser.

Go to www.makeadifferenceday.com to register your project in the DAYtaBANK. Last year 3 million people volunteered to do something for their community. You can, too.
