b5media Participates in The Great Blog Off!

by Jeanne on June 20th, 2008

b5media’s Entertainment channel has teamed up for a 24-hour blog-a-thon to support The Actors Fund.

The Great b5media Blog Off will begin on June 20th at 12:01am (in each writer’s respective time zone), to celebrate the summer solstice, which hasn’t occurred on any date other than June 21st since 1975 - this year it lands on June 20th. Writers for many of our sites will be posting fresh news at least once per hour for a full 24 hours. So, you’ll be seeing a lot of “greatest moments” from your favorite daytime talk shows!

How can you help?

Donate Money - you can help make a difference by supporting The Actor’s Fund. One-time donations in any amount are encouraged in any amount, but we’re also suggesting a pledge of $1 per post written on the Entertainment Channel or $10 to sponsor a participating blog. You can donate here.

A contest for you!

As an added incentive to help us raise money for The Actors Fund in the Entertainment channel, you will be entered to win $30 with each article you submit to a blog participating in the Blog Off.* There are two $30 prizes to be won!
