Mar. 8th, 2007 - Oprah's Big Give Meets Project54Tour!

Yesterday, we headed down to the NY casting call for Oprah's new reality show "The Big Give" to tell the story of Project54Tour & Jeri Games.

The new reality TV show that Oprah Winfrey is producing had a divine hand written all over it. Imagine over a thousand people sharing stories of how they want to "pay it forward" and help someone less fortunate then themselves. There were men, women, and young adults from different ethnic backgrounds and ages coming together for one purpose -- to share their stories and passion to help others.

We stood out in the cold for over 3 hours (many stayed longer), hands and feet frozen, yet still motivated to be one of the chosen few to get a chance to express our deepest desires. We were #727 on the casting call list and we used the time to share stories, network with fellow philanthropists, inspire hope, and encourage each other. The 12 hours seem to fly by after talking with hundreds of humanitarians who have a shared passion for giving back.
