Support CCTV’s annual Backyard BBQ
Scheduled for September 16, CCTV’s Backyard BBQ will feature food grilled by local chefs in CCTV’s backyard in Central Square, live music, a silent auction, and the presentation of Leading Role Awards to individuals who have worked for positive change in Cambridge. For every $1,500 raised, CCTV will be able to support an additional teen in their Youth Media Program, training Cambridge teens in media literacy and production skills, and helping them become the next generation of media-makers. This BBQ will likely be the last in CCTV’s current location in Central Square as they are currently searching for a new home. Your business can participate by becoming a fiscal sponsor or donating food for the event or goods or services to the silent auction. To learn more, call Clodagh Rule at (617) 661 6900 ext. 117.
