BASKETBALL HEROES NEEDED!

UPDATE: We are very grateful to everyone who nominated heroes for this campaign. Thanks to your efforts, we interviewed many qualified and worthy individuals, and 3 great choices were selected for this year’s honor. We can’t do this without you!

This casting is now completed & no further nominations will be accepted. Watch for the 2020 opportunity to submit this time next year!

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

YOU can nominate the next Phillips 66 “Live to the Full” Hero! In association with the 2019 BIG 12 MEN’S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP, we are looking for individuals with a connection to basketball - current or former players, coaches, volunteers, officials, organizers, parents or anyone else who uses their time and expertise to help others.

The individuals who are selected will receive $1,000 PLUS Phillips 66 will donate $6,600 to the associated organization, school, or club.  Winners will also be featured in video and still photos on the Jumbotron during the Big 12 Men’s Basketball Championship this March!  Adult men & women of all races and ages are eligible.

To nominate someone email wrightlairdcasting2@gmail.com:

  • Your name

  • Nominee’s name with brief explanation

  • Nominee’s email address

  • Nominee’s cell number (only used if we can’t reach them via email)

To apply yourself send:

  • Your name

  • Your cell number (only used if we can’t reach you via email)

  • Brief statement about what you do and your basketball history

This is an AMAZING OPPORTUNITY.  We are looking for those individuals who give back to the community - volunteers or others who are just exceptional at what they do. This contribution could be through basketball or any other activity, as long as the nominee has a history or connection with the game and basketball has influenced their actions. Everyone knows a unsung hero who could use that pat on the back!  A former player who coaches at the Y? The parent who volunteers to drive her son’s team year after year? That person who works tirelessly in the gym with special needs kids? A retired coach who teaches Sunday School using basketball metaphors? No story is too small.

Last year’s winners:

Please nominate someone today!!!

A WORD ABOUT THIS PROJECT: This ad campaign is for an established, national company specializing in insurance and financial advising services.  These advertisements are NOT an endorsement.  The individuals who appear in the ads will not be identified – they are working as “models”, representing their culture.  The salesmen and women at this company are often working with clients who are Chinese and/or Vietnamese but their brochures and other sales materials have only been utilizing Caucasian, African American, or Latin models.  The reason we are reaching out into the Greater KC area for “real” individuals is because the local talent agencies only represent a very few talent of either Vietnamese or Chinese heritage and this client wants to make sure that the faces of their ad campaign LEGITIMATELY represent the race(s) of their clients.

(THIS CASTING CALL IS FOR NON-REPRESENTED INDIVIDUALS ONLY. If you have an agent, contact them to schedule an appointment.)
