"The "Caption Thing" was always at the back of my mind as we lived more than ever in a digital world with laptops, cell phones, and tablets all a major part of life. I was always captivated by a national campaign's power to shift mindset in America – take the Buckle Up seatbelt campaign, and how ultimately, it saved thousands, if not millions, of lives since its inception. The Recycling and Designated Driver campaigns also had the same positive impact on society and our planet." - Leib Lurie |
