In 2006, CHIC attendees gave $100,000 to a school in Sudan. The money funded the construction and operation of a new school, health clinic, and food program.
Students will have an opportunity to demonstrate their creativity as well as their compassion at CHIC. The event will once again hold contests for short films and a battle of the bands. A YouTube Heroes contest has also been added. Students will submit videos that include the CHIC logo to YouTube. The winner will be the video with the most hits.
More information, including an outline for parent meetings, is included in a mailing being sent to youth pastors this week. It is a follow up to the material that was sent in July.
