LIGHTS ON AFTERSCHOOL 2006
Lights on Afterschool will be Thursday, October 12th this year! It is
the only nationwide event celebrating afterschool programs. Last year's
event included 7,500 rallies. Help us grow this event and send the
message that afterschool programs keep kids safe, inspire them to learn,
and help working families! Go to
www.afterschoolalliance.org/lights_on/index.cfm for tools and
information, and check back often for updates.
You can also use Lights On to raise money. Events offer sponsors
valuable exposure to the media, families and customers, along with the
chance to show they care about the community. The Afterschool Alliance
has created tools to help. Visit Funding Tools at
www.afterschoolalliance.org/funding_main.cfm to see 10 Tips for Getting
(and Keeping) Sponsors, and 32 Ways to Give Sponsors Exposure at your
Lights On Afterschool Event.
