Pay It Forward

NewsChannel 10 and local sponsors are looking to make a difference in the community by allowing people to "Pay It Forward!"

Each week we will have $300 cash available to a "Play-maker"(someone who knows someone in need). Our first sponsor helping us is Amarillo National Bank, ANB will provide the $300 each week.

So you may be asking, "How does this work?"

Here we go step by step:

Each week NewsChannel 10's Allan Gwyn will go out in to Amarillo and set up with a sign that says, "Help me Pay It Forward"
Our sponsor will give Allan $300 cash to be ready to Pay It Forward.
When you see the sign and Allan, simply pull over tell Allan about the person you know and can vouch for that needs the money to get a hand-up in life
You and Allan will then have 1 hour to find that person and you will get to give that person $300 cash money
We will be there the whole time capturing the incredible stories that face our community and sharing the impact generosity makes.

So this is your chance to help us make a difference in the community and "Pay It Forward"

"We think this is a perfect fit for our community. We are also proud to sponsor with local leaders to make this vision a reality. Stay tuned to find Allan on the streets of Amarillo helping others and then stay tuned every Tuesday night at 10p to see these remarkable stories," Brent McClure – General Manager, NewsChannel 10 Media
