So that we may recognize our members for their outstanding contributions to their community through the Trick or Treat to Kids Can Eat initiative, the International Thespian Society has developed a community service awards program.  

 

Award Qualification:

To qualify for a troupe or team award:

  1. all troupes must be active ITS troupes (current year’s renewal dues are paid by October 15th of that year.  This includes all “team” members.

  2. the troupe must register by the published deadline to participate in the TOTS-EAT campaign for that year.
  3. a properly completed donation verification form must be received by EdTA no later than November 7th of the collection year. 

Chapters with active ITS chapters are automatically qualified for awards as soon as one or more troupes register to participate in the TOTS-EAT program and submits a valid donation verification form following their collection night.

All registrants who submit a donation total will receive a certificate and thank-you letter.
