The actress has launched the #VoicesThatGive contest. It gives everyone the opportunity a chance to win the grand prize of $10,000, a walk-on part in “When Hope Calls,” and more.
On Instagram, Lilley had this to say about the contest, “I am hosting a worldwide talent contest… The grand prize is $10,000 US, national press, and hte potential to launch your career and make your dreams a reality! It’s free to enter and 100% of my share of the profits will be donated to Project Orphans USA to help orphans and children in the foster care system displaced within our nation.”
This sounds like an amazing contest and a chance to change one’s lives, as well as the lives of foster care children and orphans. What is even more amazing is Lilley’s encouraging words to those who commented on her social media post. One insisted that they didn’t have any talents, but Lilley disagrees! She lifted that follower up and told them that everyone has talents, including hidden ones.
