All of the materials and expenses associated with the Summit are donated by businesses and community organizations and, consequently, all contributing corporations, businesses, and groups are highly recognized in print and on signage displayed at the Summit. Just think, over 1,200 individuals from across the nation will see how much you care about aiding in making safer schools and communities!

We would appreciate your assistance with our fight against violence. Although monetary donations are our greatest need, we will most certainly appreciate in-kind services or other materials that you could donate. Any possible donation from your business will be greatly appreciated. We are a national non-profit organization with 501(c)3 status and all gifts are tax deductible.

In conjunction of this year's SAVE summit theme of Erasing the Colors of Violence, SAVE Chapter's across the country are being asked to collect coloring books, crayons, markers, colored pencils and art supplies for domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, and the needy. Collected items may be distributed in your local community or brought to the SAVE Summit for distribution to student hurricane victims in the gulf region.

National SAVE is once again creating a BIG SCREEN SLIDE SHOW to acknowledge the achievements of SAVE chapters. In order to make the show as diverse and inclusive as possible, we need photos by March 1, 2006 showing active work by your chapter (i.e. service projects, meetings, skits, etc.) Label the back of each photo with: 1) School/ Chapter name; 2) Advisor name; 3) Date and Name of Event pictured (and possibly names of students in the photo). This is YOUR BIG CHANCE TO SHOW OFF ALL YOUR HARD WORK!! Photos will be kept for the National SAVE photo albums and exhibits.

SAVE Chapters are encouraged to create a coloring book focusing on a violence prevention topic of their choice. The coloring books should be no longer than 12 pages of 8 1/2" X 11" paper. Coloring books will be voted on at the Summit with the winning coloring book being submitted for possible duplication and distribution to SAVE chapters nationwide. Coloring books should be sent to the National SAVE office no later than March 1, 2006.

Help us to Erase the Colors of Violence by having a presence at the Summit. Chapters are encouraged to create poster crayons to display at the National SAVE Summit! Have your chapter represented at this important event through signage. Suggestions for submission:

• Create one large crayon with a nonviolence theme or pledge and have all of your SAVE chapters sign;
• Have each chapter member create/design their own nonviolence crayon on 8 1/2" X 11" paper;

Exhibit. Pathway to Prevention is the official exhibit area of the 10th Annual SAVE Summit. Youth and adult practitioners will visit your booth to learn about the latest programs and services. But even better, they will return home to share this information with other youth and community volunteers, school administrators, civic groups, and policy makers. Share your resources with Summit participants from across the country as they develop skills and learn new strategies while building and strengthening partnerships in preventing school and youth violence. Help us as we Educate, Empower, Encourage, and Engage students and youth leaders in successful violence prevention strategies!
