Earlier this week, executives from four major TV networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) announced that they will be airing a week-long television event in support of national service.
During the week of October 19, service themes and plots will be woven into the network's shows to shine a spotlight on the power and importance of service.
The television event is part of the Entertainment Industry Foundation's new multi-year campaign to help make service and volunteerism a national priority.
The initiative was announced Monday by First Lady Michelle Obama with Entertainment Industry Foundation representatives actors Matthew McConaughey and Kerry Washington and rock star Jon Bon Jovi.
