The SparkWhyz Pledge
I pledge not to buy, possess, light, or encourage the use of illegal fireworks. I will make safe choices, speak up when something is dangerous, and help protect people, animals, homes, firefighters, and the natural environment.
Sponsor a Classroom
Help put prevention education into students’ hands.
Classroom sponsorships help provide SparkWhyz books, educational materials, and student-led safety programming.
Why Sponsor?
One classroom can influence an entire community.
A sponsored classroom can receive copies of the SparkWhyz children’s book, discussion materials, and opportunities to participate in student-led fire-prevention education.
Sponsors help make the program accessible to schools and families without placing the full cost on teachers or school budgets.
Final sponsorship levels will be confirmed after printing, classroom-set, and distribution costs are finalized.
