The centerpiece of the campaign is a series of PSAs that will air on the Network and affiliates throughout all day parts. The spots feature talent from ABC News, ABC Daytime, and ABC Primetime, who deliver pro-volunteering messages along with the call to action, "get involved and help build A Better Community."
