Flying 4 Kids Program
From Illinois Kite Enthusiasts
Illinois' "Flying 4 Kids" program is statewide kite fly designed to create awareness and increase sales of the Park District Youth License Plate, an important revenue-generator for park district beyond-school programming in Illinois. It is sponsored by the Illinois Association of Park Districts.
The goal is to have every park, recreation and special recreation agency in the state host a kite fly during April. IAPD will provide participating agencies with a FREE event planning kit, license plate brochures and other promotional materials.
