For many schools, a live assembly program becomes feasible when they co-sponsor together with one or more schools in the area.
The cost to schools for live presentations is $3,000 per day, plus travel expenses from Los Angeles. This covers either two middle or high school assemblies or one college lecture. Additional talks to middle or high schools may be added for $1,000 per talk.
When schools sponsor, for each day Mr. Reynolds stays overnight, there is a $3,000 minimum. Pending availability, he can go on tour for several days. Driving time between talks should average no more than 30 to 40 minutes.
Hospital Community Relations directors often arrange to sponsor or co-sponsor Mr. Reynolds' middle and high school assemblies. In developing future tobacco prevention grant proposals, live speakers are an excellent idea.
Since the tobacco lawsuits' settlement agreement with the cigarette industry, several States have now allocated a portion of the total $246 billion settlement to tobacco education. The tobacco control officer in your State capitol's Department of Health will know about funding possibilities; a list of their phone numbers may be found at www.tobaccofree.org/list.html. Their staff will know what funding is available.
Also, the Student Activities Director at local colleges may co-sponsor, or provide a venue for a local college / community talk. Colleges often have a budget for guest speakers.
Additional cosponsor suggestions may be found at our website page, www.tobaccofree.org/cospon.html.
Some clients have chosen to turn Mr. Reynolds' appearance into a major event by bussing in two to three thousand children to hear him speak.
If you have limited time for fundraising, we recommend the new video of his live talk for 7th to 12th grade. Please see www.tobaccofree.org/video.html for details, including cost.
Whether Mr. Reynolds speaks to large or small groups, media coverage has been consistently excellent. It's a great way to bring the smokefree message to your entire city, generate goodwill, and make a difference in the local community.
Our preference in schedulingBecause Mr. Reynolds is travelling from California, he is accustomed to that time zone. If you are in the Midwest or East, please make best efforts to avoid scheduling his first day's talk in the early morning. Mid to late morning times are best. On the second day, talks may be scheduled earlier. On the final day, please schedule his last talk in time to make a flight which will land back in Los Angeles by 8pm, if possible. Delta is his preferred airline. Layne in our office can work together with you on travel arrangements, after our standard contract has been signed.
