Kick Butts Day Tips

Register your event!
Registering your event lets us know you're out there. Our Kick Butts Day team can help you get in touch with local media, tell you about other events in your area, answer any questions you have about KBD, and include your event in our media materials. Register today.

Don't want your event publicized? Register anyway, just don't check the box asking us to promote your event. Knowing who's doing events this year gives us an idea of how successful Kick Butts Day is this year.

Plan ahead.
Start recruiting volunteers, gathering supplies and confirming your event location and other details early to make sure you cover everything.

Always secure necessary permits
Whether getting permission from your principal to hold an event at a school assembly or getting a permit from your police department or city, make sure you have permission to organize your event at whichever location you choose.

Be polite.
When promoting your message, don't force it on others. Hand out flyers to those who want them and spread your message to everyone else with posters and banners. Be sure to clean up after your event.

Don't exclude anyone or any group from your event—especially smokers.
Kick Butts Day is not an anti-smoker event; it's an opportunity to fight back against the tobacco industry.

Contact the media.
This can help you spread your message way beyond Kick Butts Day—reaching hundreds, even thousands of people by making sure the media covers your event.
