<div>URGENT: Help Keep The CARE Awards Alive for Year 9! ❤️

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Time is running out — The Cinematic Arts Redemptive Entertainment (CARE) Awards are just a couple of weeks away, and we urgently need your help to keep this year’s festival alive!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For nine years, the CARE Awards have been a free, community-driven independent film festival that celebrates compassion, creativity, and storytelling through film, TV, web series, music, and screenwriting. Verified on FilmFreeway and IMDB , our festival has proudly brought artists from around the world to West Virginia, inspiring audiences and mentoring local high school students who dream of becoming the next generation of filmmakers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This year’s festival is set for November 7–8 at the historic Blennerhassett Hotel in Parkersburg, WV, featuring live screenings, workshops, networking events, and our beloved red carpet awards gala. But right now, we’re facing a critical shortfall in funding needed for essential festival expenses — venue, technical equipment, student workshops, and travel support.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every dollar helps us:

</div>

<div>☆Keep the festival free and open to the public

</div>

<div>☆Support film education for local students

</div>

<div>☆Bring independent filmmakers from around the world to Appalachia

</div>

<div>☆Host workshops and networking events that build careers and community

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The CARE Awards isn’t just about movies — it’s about mentorship, creativity, and compassion through storytelling. We’ve come so far over 9 years, but without urgent support, this may be the first time the red carpet doesn’t roll out.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you believe in the power of film to inspire, unite, and make a difference, please consider donating today and sharing this campaign. Time is short, but together, we can keep the spotlight shining on independent voices and young storytellers in West Virginia.

</div>

</div>

<div>Donate. Share. Inspire.

</div>

<div>Let’s make year 9 of the CARE Awards happen!
