6abc Joins "Oprah's Big Give"

(Philadelphia, PA) -- Oprah's Big Give, the new primetime series that defies television convention with the bold idea of people competing to give rather than get, is taking ABC Sundays by storm! The contestants are given the chance of a lifetime -- to change the lives of complete strangers in the most creative and dramatic ways. And now, it's your turn to get in on the action. 6abc is teaming up with Oprah's Big Give, to make a real impact, on real people, right here in the Delaware Valley.

6abc is kicking off a 5-week campaign to make Oprah's Big Give even bigger! Every Monday, Action News at 5 will highlight a different local charity to show you how it dramatically changes the lives of local people in need. Then, your chance to give is just a call or a click away! From 5-6pm, the 6abc Oprah's Big Give Hotline will be open to take your donations! Viewers can call 1-866-978-4232, or log on anytime to 6abc.com to make a donation, and to learn more about the five charities.

The 6abc Oprah's Big Give Hotline kicks off this March 17th and will highlight the following charities:
