A special event is an activity that focuses on an important issue, such as child safety; celebrates success; builds a sense of community; provides a positive activity for youth to participate in; raises funds; or educates and enlists the support of community members on a specific topic. A special event can be a party, an information fair, a carwash for charity, a child safety day, a race, a street fair, or a community picnic. The only limit is your imagination!
