Re-launch of HELP US...HELP OTHERS

The Alive After Five Committee and its partner organizations; Sampson Arts Council, City of Clinton and the County of Sampson today announced that it is relaunching its Help Us…Help Others program designed to support Sampson County’s non-profit organizations.

The AA5 Committee recently approved hosting a “Local Non-Profit Night” aimed at showcasing local non-profit organizations that serve Sampson County and its residents.  The committee is currently accepting applications from Samson County non-profit organizations to exhibit during the Alive After Five Concert scheduled for September 22, 2022.   Non-profit organizations will be provided exhibit space at no cost.  “Our committee recognizes the important role that local non-profit organizations play in our community and our committee is excited to provide this opportunity,” stated AA5 Committee Member and Chair, Ray Jordan.

Organizations will have the opportunity to engage with concertgoers and to promote their organization.  Organizations may distribute literature and information about the services they provide to the community and accept donations.  Exhibit space is limited to non-political/non-religious (501c3) non-profit organizations that are based in Sampson County.  Exhibit space is limited due to space.  Should the number of applicants/organizations exceed available space a lottery drawing will be held.  Each organization approved will be provided a 10’ x 10’ exhibit space.  Exhibitors must provide their own tables and chairs and are encouraged to supply their own tent.

“In 2019, prior to the COVID 19 Pandemic, the Alive After Five (AA5) Committee initiated the Help Us…Help Others campaign where our committee partnered with three Sampson County non-profit organizations to support their efforts and to help further their impact within our community by promoting each organization and by having each organization participate as an exhibitor during an AA5 Concert,” stated Committee Member, Darrell Jones. He continued, “these organizations included Backpack Buddies, the Christian Food Bank of Salemburg and the Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce’s Coat Closet. This opportunity helped to enhance the visibility of each organization and their efforts within our community.”

The deadline to apply is Wednesday, August 31, 2022.
