• Childhelp is a non-profit organization providing aid and services caring for abused, neglected and at-risk children.

  In April 2009 the organization began to expand its funding resources, drawing on the public support of Starship Troopers star Casper Van Dien to produce a public service announcement for YouTube. The budget for the PSA was only $1,000. However, it garnered over 65k hits on the video sharing site in just over a month.PRWeek: Childhelp uses a 'Trooper' to drive Web traffic... (April 15, 2009)
