Alexandria Earth Day 2010

The Alexandria Earth Day Committee invites you to become a sponsor for this year’s event on Saturday, April 24, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Following the success of last year when over 1300 people attended, the event will again be held at the Ben Brenman Park. This year's theme will be based on the need to promote education.

This year we are going to highlight and celebrate the many activities performed every day by the students, staff, and parents of the Alexandria Public Schools that will lead us all to a green and sustainable future. Please check this website for all the details of the celebration.

The Alexandria Earth Day event is arranged jointly by the City government through the Recreation Parks and Cultural Activities department and the city's Environmental Policy Commission. For the past years, the driving theme has been that of education.

Government, non-profits and certain commercial organizations are invited to show what they are doing to help us all live in a sustainable world. The festival is, of course free for all to visit, but it does cost money to stage. The City meets half of the cost and the EPC has to raise the other 50%....and this year is a tough year for everybody financially. If you feel that you can contribute to help us reach out to our citizens, and especially to the children, then please download the sponsor letter and form.

All sponsors will be featured on the Alexandria Earth Day website and other promotional material.

Your generous support can help us to continue the vital work of
informing citizens, and especially children, of the need to care for
this magnificent planet on which we live. We look forward to having you,
your colleagues, family and friends join us and ask you to please spread
the word about Earth Day Alexandria 2010!
