Verizon Wireless Celebrates It’s a Family Affair™ contest with Blair Underwood


Oakland, CA, May 23, 2011 With the season of family reunions and summer vacations fast approaching, one lucky family will soon celebrate a reunion they’ll never forget.  The grand prize winner of Verizon Wireless’ It’s a Family Affair™ contest will win an all-expense-paid family reunion for up to 100 guests.  The prize includes a reunion venue, catering, entertainment and a dedicated website to post family images, videos, comments and more.

 “Four years ago Verizon Wireless introduced How Sweet the Sound, a national gospel choir competition, and the response from the African-American community was overwhelmingly positive,” said Christina Gonzalez, director of multicultural marketing for Verizon Wireless in the western U.S.  “With It’s a Family Affair, we’re giving back to the community, once again, in a culturally relevant way.”  

Families can register for the contest at www.VerizonFamilyAffair.com now through May 30, 2011 at midnight.  Entrants must submit photos that demonstrate how their family keeps their close connection, and answer a few short, open-ended questions, such as: “What words of wisdom does your family live by?”

The voting period runs from June 7 to June 16.   Verizon Wireless will select fifty families as semi-finalists and post their stories on the contest website.  The public will then vote to determine which family wins the ultimate family reunion from Verizon Wireless. The company will announce the winning family no later than June 25.  

To celebrate the It’s a Family Affair™ contest, Verizon Wireless recently hosted a family-friendly event at its Communications Store in San Leandro. Some attendees won prizes such as BlackBerry® smartphones and tickets to local concerts.

In addition, the first 100 people who donated no-longer used cell phones and accessories to Verizon Wireless’ HopeLine® phone recycling program at the event had an exclusive opportunity to participate in a meet and greet with actor and director Blair Underwood that included a picture with Underwood and an autographed photo. Pictures from the It’s a Family Affair™ event are available to be viewed at www.verizoninsider.com/galleries.

HopeLine from Verizon Wireless turns no-longer used cell phones and accessories into support for domestic violence agencies that serve victims and survivors of abuse.  For more information about HopeLine, please visit: www.verizonwireless.com/hopeline

  1. With the resort fee, not only do you receive the wireless or cable Internet service (many good hotels give you this choice), but you can access the gym for free or at least the cardio room. Unlimited wireless internet provider
