We are gearing up for CCTV’s Annual Backyard BBQ fundraiser, scheduled for Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. in CCTV’s backyard in Central Square. In the event of rain, the BBQ will be held on Thursday, September 23th.

This year’s BBQ, CCTV on the Move, is likely to be the last in Central Square. The Backyard BBQ will celebrate our success and growth over the past 15 years in Central Square, and provide a look forward to our new home. As always, the event will feature food grilled by local chefs in CCTV's “backyard,” live music, and the presentation of the Leading Role Award to Officer Michael "Whitey" Daniliuk, Robert Hurlbut and Khari Milner. All funds raised through this year’s BBQ will support CCTV’s year-round Youth Media Program, which fosters healthy youth development by involving teens in activities that promote media art, career and leadership skills while exploring issues affecting our community.
