Ten #Unselfie Contest Winners Receive Gift Cards from Foundation

In an effort to encourage community members to wear face coverings to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation (MPACF) recently hosted a #Unselfie Photo Contest. Community member participants submitted photos of themselves wearing a mask, referred to as an #Unselfie, for the opportunity to win one of ten $100 local gift cards.

#Unselfie Photo Contest winners include Erin Bennett, Amanda Boyle, Shane Patrick Boyle, Allison Chiodini, Linda Colburn, Alysha Fisher, Matt Hewitt, Abidullah Israr, Karmen McNicol, and Makia Robinson, all of Mt. Pleasant.

Contest winners claimed their prizes earlier this month, and shared their thoughts about the contest themes. Excerpt below:

“The Chiodini family would like to thank the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation as well as the local businesses and donors that contributed to the #MaskUpIsabella #Unselfie Photo Contest,” said Allison Chiodini. “We are very honored and thankful to receive the prize of a local gift card, and are also thankful and happy to support local businesses here in our community! In the days, weeks and months ahead, we need to keep doing our part in our community, to protect our community, by continuing our efforts to #MaskUp when we are out in public places. Now, more than ever we can also do our part in our community, to protect those in our community, by shopping local, eating local and giving local this holiday season.”

Congratulations Unselfie Photo Contest winners include Erin Bennett, Amanda Boyle, Shane Patrick Boyle, Allison Chiodini, Linda Colburn, Alysha Fisher, Matt Hewitt, Abidullah Israr, Karmen McNicol, and Makia Robinson.
