In order to accomplish this goal, we’ve established the following criteria: WE WILL AIR CLOSINGS FOR SCHOOLS, DAY CARE CENTERS (servicing a minimum of 30 children), CHURCHES, CITY & COUNTY GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS and LARGE BUSINESSES ONLY. (“Large Business” is defined as a business with 75 or more employees.)
If your business or organization meets the above criteria and you would like to obtain a closure ID and code, please contact us on company letterhead with the following information:
- Business/Organization’s Name (up to 27 characters including spaces)
