About The Emily Fund and the Do One Thing Campaign:
Shortly after 19-year old Gettysburg college sophomore, Emily Rachel Silverstein, was violently murdered on April 9, 2009, her family set up The Emily Fund to continue her legacy of hope in action for a better world. The fund provides scholarships, programs and resources to inspire young people to make a difference in their communities. 

Emily's compassion, passion and creativity touched many lives.  She was an active leader promoting numerous social causes, including peace and conflict resolution, environmental sustainability, animal and human rights, and ending hunger and homelessness. Emily shared deep friendships and accomplished countless amazing things. But there was so much more that she wanted to do to make this world a better place; so many more lives that she would have touched, inspired and empowered to join in the struggle for a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.  The Emily Fund's "Do One Thing" campaign is based on Emily's strong conviction that every act of compassion makes a difference.  Alone we may not be able to change the world, but together we make a world of difference.

WIN PRIZES
Each month, the authors of the top five viewed videos will receive a copy of "The Better World Shopping Guide" by Ellis Jones. The most inspirational video will receive several prizes, including a copy of "The Better World Handbook," by Ellis Jones, et. al, an autographed copy of the best-selling "Where Peace Lives" by Debbie Robins, a copy of Jeff Klein's inspiring book, "Working For Good: Making a Difference While Making a Living" and a desktop peace pole donated by The World Peace Prayer Society, whose message "May Peace Prevail On Earth" can be found in nearly every language on over 200,000 peace poles around the world.

Videos should be submitted to videos@emilyfund.org. The Emily Fund invites all socially responsible businesses to consider sponsoring one or more Do One Thing Video Contests.
