Texting & Driving Prevention vs. Adoption from Foster Care
Texting and driving is dangerous – that’s a fact. More than nine in ten Americans believe sending (94%) and reading (91%) texts while driving is dangerous or very dangerous. And even though research shows that people are convinced texting and driving is dangerous, many people still do it. To help address the disconnect between awareness and behavior, the Texting & Driving Prevention campaign has partnered with Project Yellow Light, a scholarship competition designed to bring about change since 2011. The competition calls on students to develop and produce a short video educating their peers on the dangers of texting and driving. This spot was created by Marcus Marshall (grand prize winner, college category). For more information, visit

There are over 125,000 children in the U.S. foster care system currently waiting to be adopted. But teens have lower adoption rates and often wait twice as long to be adopted as younger children. No matter our age, we never outgrow the need for a loving and supportive family. This PSA reminds prospective parents that they will not always be the ones who will be doing the teaching. Adopted teens can help their parents grow in ways they never imagined, giving families a completely new set of moments to look forward to. After all, when it comes to parenthood– you can’t imagine the reward. For more information about adoption, or about becoming an adoptive parent to a child or teen from foster care, please visit

Shelter Pet Adoption vs. Alzheimer’s Awareness
Each year, millions of dogs and cats will enter shelters and rescue groups, yet only half will be adopted. This leaves millions of healthy and treatable dogs and cats who still need our help to find a home. While every shelter pet is unique, there’s one thing they have in common: they’re all pure love. The #AdoptPureLove PSA campaign celebrates the unique traits of shelter pets and shows how these qualities add up to an incredible bond between every shelter pet and parent.
More than 5 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s but less than half are ever diagnosed. Close family members, who know their loved ones best, are typically the first to notice memory issues or cognitive problems, but they are often hesitant to say something – even when they know something is wrong. While acknowledging why your loved one may be acting differently is hard, it can be critical, as early detection of Alzheimer’s can make a difference in managing the disease. By telling real, relatable stories of families who have benefited from early detection of Alzheimer’s, the campaign empowers people to have these critical conversations with loved ones when they notice something is different.
