Fatherhood Involvement U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Family Assistance, National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse NEW MATERIALS
In an effort to show dads the critical role they play in their children's lives, the Ad Council has partnered with the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and volunteer ad agency Campbell-Ewald to create a new PSA campaign that communicates to fathers how essential they are to their children's well-being. The campaign provides fathers with the information they need to become more active dads, on a daily basis. The new PSAs emphasize to fathers that "the smallest moments can have the biggest impact on a child's life." The ads conclude with the tagline, "Take time to be a dad today" and encourage fathers to visit www.fatherhood.gov or call 1-877-4DAD411 to learn how to be more involved dads.

Foreclosure Prevention NeighborWorks® America
Foreclosures are a very serious problem in our country. We estimate that a staggering one million families will face foreclosure this year. This PSA campaign strives to reach the roughly 50% of delinquent borrowers who avoid contact with their lenders, and encourages them to call 888-995-HOPE for guidance. There they will find quality counseling and financial advice, from a trusted third-party nonprofit, on ways to avoid foreclosure. Everyone loses when homeowners foreclose, just as everyone wins when communities are home to vital, healthy neighborhoods.

Oceans Awareness National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Defense
Oceans are essential to life on Earth, but are now being put at risk by human activity. Oceans do not have an infinite capacity to absorb the waste we allow to flow into them. When it comes to pollution, people generally don't realize that most ocean pollution originates on land, such as when plastic trash or motor oil is carelessly disposed of. The ads in this campaign are designed to raise awareness among Americans about the connection between our activities on land and the health of the oceans. Our objective is to inspire the audience to prevent pollution before it harms the oceans and the sea creatures that live there.
