About Me

Make It Your Own is an initiative of the Case Foundation to inspire people to come together to create a vision and work toward the common good. The program kicks off with the Make It Your Own Awards™ , which challenges individuals to connect, innovate, and activate their communities. Later this year, we'll launch The Next Five, a national search for young leaders uniting in new ways to change the world, and Beyond the Vote, an effort to remind people that being a good citizen doesn't end on Election Day.
