Support a Great Cause at On The Block! Saturday, April 11th 4-8 on the Mackenzie Quad

We’re excited to share that proceeds from this year’s On The Block event will be donated to ACCORD: A Center for Dispute Resolution & Community Justice, a Community Action Agency located in Belmont. ACCORD plays a vital role in supporting individuals and families in our local community through programs that promote stability, self-sufficiency, and overall well-being.

We’re asking all students, faculty, and staff to help us give back by bringing:

• Spare change
• Unopened self-care items
• Canned goods

These donations will be used as “votes” for your favorite activities at the event, so the more you bring, the more you can support both your top picks and the community!

Don’t miss the dunk tank just $5 per turn and all proceeds from it will also go directly toward supporting ACCORD.

By attending On The Block, you’re not just showing up for a fun event you’re making a real impact right here in our community. Let’s come together to have fun, give back, and support a cause that truly matters.

Show up. Donate. Vote. Make a difference.

🤝 What is Signing Day?
It’s a high-energy celebration where employers join us for a dinner to “sign” their new hires and recognize their achievements. Expect a fun, memorable atmosphere with companies bringing creative swag and spirit to celebrate their newest team members!

🎥 Lights, Camera, Future!
The event is professionally recorded, and highlights are featured during graduation—so you’ll be part of a moment that lasts!

📣 Help Us Find Our Stars!
We’re inviting faculty, staff, and students to help us identify graduating seniors who have secured jobs or are continuing their education. We want to celebrate them—and connect with their employers so they can join the event too!

💡 Know someone who should be recognized?
Send their information to Valerie Case by April 14th at caseva@alfredstate.edu so we can invite both the student and their employer.

💸 Free Event
Signing Day is completely free for all participating students and employers.

Let’s celebrate success, opportunity, and the bright futures ahead. 🎉
