With the help of Neighborhood Captains, YOU will have the opportunity to compete in a friendly competition to win a one-of-a-kind experience to have Knock Knock at your Door!
Over the next 7 weeks, neighbors will come together to raise funds to help Knock Knock Children’s Museum Keep the Pages Turning!
Neighborhoods will compete against one another for the opportunity to have Knock Knock come to you! It will be an interactive and COVID-appropriate experience that children of all ages will enjoy!
There are two ways to win:
* The neighborhood with the highest percentage of participation
* The neighborhood with the most generous financial contribution
What is a Neighborhood Captain?
Being a Neighborhood Captain is easy! We will make sure you have everything you need to conduct a successful Knocking for Knock Knock campaign. All you have to do is love your neighborhood and LOVE KNOCK KNOCK CHILDREN’s MUSEUM.
As your neighborhood’s captain, you are the head cheerleader reminding your friends and neighbors that you need their help to keep the pages turning at Knock Knock so children of the Capital Region have a place to play with a purpose AND that their participation will help your neighborhood win an exclusive Knock Knock at Your Door Experience.
You will receive a Captain’s Supply Kit, which includes fliers promoting the contest for you to give to your neighbors, door hangers to help identify those who are participating, small business cards for you to pass out, a special yard sign just for you to identify you as the Neighborhood Captain, and a letter explaining everything.
