How You Can Participate / Model In The "Save the Cherubs" Campaign

For our members, we need more than models.  We also need your help in making this campaign successful as we cannot do it without you!    We need you to help us make the local media awareness of this campaign, request billboard space, advertising space - all using your photographs in your town!   Your cherub will be local celebrity and possibly a national celebrity as well!    There are 5 things we need in your participation:

1.  E-mail us at awareness@cdhsupport.org with the following:

1. your name
   
2. cherub's name
3. date(s) of birth and death
4. your phone number
5. your e-mail address
6. your town and state
7. your available dates and times to model
8. write 1 paragraph about your cherub  (ex:  "Mary was born in 1998 with CDH.  She spent 3 months at NYU and came home on oxygen.  She had to go on ECMO and her odds of survival for her severe case was only 25%.  It was a rough few years, not knowing if she'd survive or where life would take her, but she did it!   She is now in middle school and a straight A student who is on the debate team")
   
9. let us know if your home is available as a photo shoot location.

2.  We also need your model release form signed and in our hands before we can schedule a photo shoot.  You can fax it or mail it in.

3.  Contact your local newspaper, TV stations and magazines to tell them about the shoot.  Don't worry - we'll make it easy for you!   Form letters can be found here.

4.  Arrive at your photo shoot on time and ready.  We will call / e-mail you with details on where to go and when, who your photographer is, what to wear, etc.

5.  Give local interviews (just be yourself and spread CDH awareness!)
