Darryl "DMC" McDaniels and Idina Menzel Join National Billboard Campaign To Champion Brighter Futures For America's Kids

Today, millions of children across the country miss out on enriching summer experiences that help them learn, grow, and prepare for the school year ahead. To help close that opportunity gap, Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO) and the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA), the nation's only organization dedicated exclusively to summer learning for children, have partnered with The Felix Organization and A BroaderWay Foundation to launch a nationwide digital billboard campaign encouraging Americans to invest in the future of kids through the transformative power of summer.

Featured in the campaign as NSLA supporters are award-winning Broadway star Idina Menzel and hip-hop legend Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, who are lending their voices to raise awareness of the importance of summer learning and to inspire support for opportunities that help young people thrive.

Anchored by the message "Invest in Summer. Change Their Future," the campaign will appear across CCO's digital billboards nationwide, directing audiences to SummerKids.org , where they can donate to support NSLA's work connecting children and families with affordable summer enrichment programs and youth development resources in their communities.

Launching during National Summer Learning Week (July 6–10), an annual celebration that highlights the importance of keeping kids learning, engaged, and thriving all summer long, the campaign will run throughout the summer season.

McDaniels co-founded The Felix Organization in 2006 with Emmy Award-winning casting director Sheila Jaffe to provide children in foster care with new experiences and year-round enrichment opportunities.
