Hosting a Choose2Matter LIVE Event:
Logistics
- We've worked with groups from 150 to 6,000.
- Programs run 1 to 2.5 days.
- Only materials needed are paper, markers, & typical audio/visual requirements.
- Support from teachers and community members helps teams of students brainstorm and shape action plans.
Finances
- Cost for hosting a LIVE event is $20-$30k, depending on date, duration, location and audience size.
- We also offer a "virtual" participation option at a much lower price point.
- Many schools have raised funds from sponsors or partnered with civic groups to offset the cost.
- Schools have used Title I funds for this program, which is the best way to combat bullying, substance abuse, teen pregnancy and other issues.
Parent Night
- Angela Maiers can speak at a ticketed event for parents to help raise funds.
