Can I use my Friends of Pangea Day event to raise money for another nonprofit or cause? Yes. We encourage all our hosts to consider aligning their Friends of Pangea Day events with an organization or campaign working to realize positive change in the world. You can't sell tickets to Pangea Day – the program is intended to be free to all – but you can use your gathering, and the good will and high spirits generated, to raise awareness about and funding for good works. For example, an event in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, is being planned together with a Walk for Water earlier in the day, an effort to engage high school students in raising money to drill a well for a village in Burkina Faso.

Can I have a band perform at my event? Yes! This is your event, so you should feel free to incorporate any number of live elements in the spirit of Pangea Day that would make it more vibrant, relevant, and fun. We do ask that you respect the Pangea Day broadcast, and schedule your live performances either before or after, so they don't interrupt the program.

Can I invite local media to my event? Yes! We encourage you to use local media to promote your Friends of Pangea Day event in advance and cover it on May 10. Be sure to give your local media plenty of advance notice (minimum: two weeks). And please remember that you cannot speak on behalf of Pangea Day. Ask local journalists to contact Pangea Day for official comment by submitting a Press Inquiry.
