April 3, 2009, WTNH-TV News Channel 8 (ABC) congratulated Pa. Robert M. Turner of Bridgeport on receiving $5,000 dollars toward his American Dream and the Bridgeport Bible Fellowship Church (EFC), Turner’s charity of choice, who also received $5,000 dollars to put toward the completion of a project that will benefit the local community. The awards were given as part of ABC's Million Dollar Giveaway for their Extreme Makeover: American Dream Edition to help individuals and their local communities who had fallen upon recent economic hardship as a result of the current financial crisis in the United States.
WTNH-TV encouraged people to tell their stories or to share the stories of someone they knew who gives of their time to their community. Additionally, utilizing $1,000 in event-funds provided by ABC, WTNH-TV has partnered with Pa. Turner and the Bridgeport Bible Fellowship Church to create an event for the children of the Blackham School, which is where the church is housed.
How would you use a similar gift at your church or in your community?
