The CSC will reimburse the County for services or other deliverables provided, up to $13,200. This event will be one of over 8,000 rallies being held as part of the annual nationwide Lights On Afterschool event hosted by The Afterschool Alliance to celebrate afterschool programs. Over 1,000 Broward County children, elementary to high school-aged, are expected to attend and participate in program activities such as sports, book giveaways, arts and crafts, performing arts, and free lunch.
The services to be provided by the County’s Lights on Afterschool event, through Broward County Parks and Recreation Division, are specified in Exhibit A - Scope of Work to the Agreement. This event will call attention to the importance of afterschool programs.

The Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to legal sufficiency by the Office of the County Attorney.
