| Mister Rogers: "Won't You Wear a Sweater?" Day |
 |
Won't You Wear A Sweater On March 20?
In honor of what would have been Mister Rogers'
80th birthday on March 20, Mr. McFeely -- aka
David Newell, the public relations director for
Family Communications, Inc. (the nonprofit company
founded in 1971 by Fred Rogers) -- has a special
request.
"We're asking everyone (including members of the
media) everywhere (from Pittsburgh to Paris) to
wear their favorite sweater on that day," he asks.
"It doesn't have to have a zipper down the front
like the one Mister Rogers wore on the program, it
just has to be special to you."
Sweater Day is part of Pittsburgh's 250th
anniversary celebration and the first-ever "Won't
You Be My Neighbor?" Days March 15 -- 20.
"We wanted to recognize Fred in a way that would
reflect his deep appreciation of what it means to
be a caring neighbor," explains FCI's Margy
Whitmer.
As a result, "'Won't You Be My Neighbor?" Days
was born as a means of promoting neighborliness
throughout Fred Rogers' own backyard --
Southwestern Pennsylvania region.
Throughout WYBMND more than 30 organizations have
signed up to participate.

You Be My Neighbor?" Days visit

This project supported in part by Pittsburgh 250
Community Connections and The Sprout Fund."
