When the school day ends, many children face a critical decision about how to spend their time. They can either enter a safe and enriching environment or navigate empty hours that may hinder their potential. South Florida After-School All-Stars is launching a fundraising and awareness campaign called Keeping the Lights On.

This campaign is part of the nationwide Lights On Afterschool initiative and aims to celebrate the importance of after-school and summer programs. The organization is facing a significant funding gap, with approximately $1 million less in government funding this year. Further details about the campaign and the organization's efforts are available from the source.
