Publish Schedule
Foster WA is an annual strategic campaign that culminates with a gala event at the end of the year to raise funding and build awareness for the foster system in WA state. Based on grassroots, this event can utilize local public government and educational cable channels to produce interviews, monthly magazine that concentrate on the topics of fostering system issues and solutions. The longest, perhaps most mentally intensive piece would be an annual investigative journalism reports that zero down on specific issues and provide clear and sound strategies for solutions on the topics of foster system in Washington State and societal approaches and solutions that are already available for research.
At the end of December (sometime after Thanksgiving and before holiday season) a culminating event, such as the Annual Foster WA Gala would be televised and broadcast to the world via the internet with dinner and award ceremony for sponsors, friends, supporters, and employees of the WA state foster system. This event is similar to Big Hero Gala or CNN Heroes Awards
