BULLYING HAS A NAME

Bullying has a name. Take a stand for them. Be a voice for the voiceless. &pm @ Sachem North, 4th of December!

Every day, thousands of kids across the country are bullied in school. No state, county, or school is immune. Since 2001 we at All Access Productions, a New York based non-profit, have been working in schools to end this epidemic. The Speak Life Event and our production of No More Victims, have been seen by over 320,000 students across America. In 2014 we worked in 23 school’s impacting over 20,000 Long Island students with this life saving message. Schools have been toting this event as the most effective anti-bullying assembly their school has ever welcomed. Following the Speak Life Event, students began reporting bullying, and standing up for the victims of the abuse while identifying the most at risk students. For more information about All Access Productions and the Speak Life Event, please visit our website at www.allaccessproductions.org.

Bullying Has A Name will give a voice to countless victims of bullying. We at All Access Productions want to see the first names of students who have been victims of this abuse on all 850 seats in the school auditorium. Supporters can have a name placed on a seat on behalf of students and friends who have been bullied. Naming a seat can be purchased IN ADVANCE for $10. Name a seat for that person in your life that has been a victim of bullying - be it a child, a classmate, former classmate, or yourself. Their name will be placed on a seat on the night of the event. Our goal is to have a name for every seat when the curtain goes up on our presentation of No More Victims on December 4th.

*Anyone can name a seat for $10 and you don’t have to attend to donate.
*A seat does not have to be purchased to attend the event.
*ALL are invited to attend the event and there is NO COST at the door.
