The Division hosted the VH1 Save the Music grants concert at the Indiana Statehouse Rotunda. The concert showcased 4-Indianapolis Public Schools. Al Aldridge, BHN, and Christy Manso, VH1, presented the 'big check' to the four principals of the recipient schools. This makes a total of 22-IPS schools that have received VH1 STM grants since 2001 for a total of $550,000 in grants.
-
VH1 also announced that the IPS School Board would be honored at a ceremony at the National Academic Administrators Conference in Chicago in April. The award will be in the name of Bright House Networks and VH1. A member of the BHN Division has been invited to attend the ceremony.
-
We produced and ran a PSA with City-Council President Monroe Gray on a Senior Health Celebration event. This was the 5th PSA that we have done with members of the City-County Council during the past year. These spots contributed to over $34,000 worth of in-kind airtime for various organizations and community causes during the month.
