RESPECT! Challenge 2013
In 2013, we received thousands of entries from people across America telling us who they wanted to thank for teaching them respect.
The national grand prize winner of a $10,000 donation, a VIP trip to New York City for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and $500 Macy’s gift card was Casey Chow of California. Casey submitted a spoken word video about his father, who he thanks for teaching him the meaning of respect. Casey will donate his prize money to the Donaldina Cameron House, a nonprofit serving the Asian communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Eight regional winners received $2,500 for a school or nonprofit organization of their choice, a $2,500 scholarship, and a $250 Macy’s gift card.
To encourage participation in the contest, FUTURES collaborated with Maker Studios to produce a RESPECT! Challenge video featuring YouTube sensations such as Chester See and GloZell. Take a look below!
