October is a busy month, and not everyone has a chance to attend a Lights On Afterschool event. That's why we've got a digital event to ensure that everyone who wants to celebrate afterschool programs gets a chance: the Lights On Afterschool Lightbulb Challenge!
Every year, we challenge friends of afterschool across the country to take a photo of themselves posing in the shape of our Lights On Afterschool logo and posting it on social media with the hashtags #LightbulbChallenge and #LightsOnAfterschool. Then, participants challenge their followers to do the same!
Here's what it looks like:
Today, Breakthrough joins in the national celebration of after-school programs and all they do to support and inspire kids and families. Our thanks to #SFDCYF for their leadership of this event!#LightsOnAfterschool #LightbulbChallenge pic.twitter.com/XbVSLn0tIK

My #LightsOnAfterschool; is yours? Today is a nationwide celebration of all that afterschool programs do to keep our kids safe & learning. For every child in afterschool, two are waiting to get in, so I challenge @DCOSTCoalition and @BurroughsES to join #LightbulbChallenge pic.twitter.com/dauDgaxM04
