SUMMIT COUNTY YOUTH CREATIVE ARTS CONTEST
(AKRON, OHIO) - The United Way of Summit County (UWSC) invites
children in grades K-12 living or attending school in Summit County
to participate in the Fourth Annual Youth Initiative Creative Arts
Contest by illustrating the theme: ‘Everyone Can Make a Difference.’
UWSC Senior Resource Development Director Margaret Sell said, “The
Creative Arts Contest was established to encourage our younger
population to become more aware and active in United Way and our
local community. The artwork submitted will capture the creativity,
energy, and fresh ideas of the how young minds see United Way in
their community and lives today. This will in turn help us better
understand ways to market to this population. It’s definitely a
win-win situation.”
