Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA) has partnered with the National Summer Learning Association on a national media campaign to elevate the importance of keeping all kids learning, safe and healthy during critical summer months. Billboards will run across CCOAs markets in support of National Summer Learning Day, July 12, 2018 and summer learning opportunities for children and youth throughout the season.
The award-winning book, Trombone Shorty, the true story of a boy in New Orleans (author Troy “Trombone
Shorty” Andrews) who follows his passion to become a professional musician, is featured on one of the billboards. Trombone Shorty is the selection for this year’s National Read-Aloud and is illustrated by 2016 Caldecott Honor recipient, Bryan Collier, will serve as this year’s national Summer Learning Ambassador.
The second billboard by CCOA is a joint campaign between The National Summer Learning Association and the Afterschool Alliance, entitled “This is Summer Learning”.
This year, nearly every state in America will host a celebration or program commemorating National Summer Learning Day which is projected to reach one million youth through hundreds of partner organizations representing libraries, parks and recreation centers, children’s museums and civic and non-profit groups.
