What happens

The Big Help is a community outreach program created by Nickelodeon in 1994. The program featured children who volunteered in their community and reached out to let Nickelodeon know what they were doing. The network contacted some of them to create commercials for Nickelodeon about various volunteer opportunities to inspire other children to be big helpers in their communities. There was also an event in which children from around the country would call in to try to get one of their local parks refurbished by Nickelodeon, the ten with the most votes would get refurbished by Nickelodeon in an eight-hour special. In 2001, following the September 11 attacks, Nickelodeon aired unscheduled specials under The Big Help branding for relief. In 2008, a sequel emerged called The Big Green Help, which was created to promote messages of environmentalism. The name The Big Help was restored in 2010. The program was silently discontinued in the mid-2010s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
