Afterschool Programs - Live Announcer Copy: 60

If you could give a child a safe place to go after school, would you? What about helping kids get better grades and go on to college? Or giving them time to explore new worlds and discover hidden talents?

You can help - we all can - by showing support for afterschool programs in [insert your town]. Attend a Lights On Afterschool event October 18, 2007 in your community.

In America today, 14.3 million children are alone after school. [Replace this national figure with data about your state from the America After 3 pm Study].

Help give them a place to go.

Log on to www.afterschoolalliance.org to find the Lights On Afterschool event in your community. October 18th. That's Thursday. Mark it down and look it up at www.afterschoolalliance.org.
