Savannah Media Advisory Taylor Schools Media Advisory Milt Wilcox Announcement

Former Detroit Tiger, Milt Wilcox Joins National Adopt-A-Watt™ Clean Energy And Alternative Fuel Initiative

World Series winning pitcher becomes newest Advisory Board Member

For Immediate Release:

ROYAL OAK, MI. AAW News/ Nov. 11, 2009 --- As our country more fervently pursues energy alternatives, the progress of the Adopt-A-Watt™ program just became more visible, as another well-known citizen gets involved.

Milt Wilcox joins among others, actress and activist Linda Gray, perhaps best known for her role as Sue Ellen on the long-running hit show “Dallas, as the latest National Adopt-A-Watt™ Advisory Board member.

Having a sports celebrity like Milt Wilcox associated with our project attracts a wider audience and draws more attention to our cause,” stated Thomas A. Wither, founder and principal of the National Adopt-A-Watt™ Program (NAAWP). “We are very excited about Milt’s participation in our program and his potential for helping advance clean energy, in Major League Sports”.

“Because sponsorships completely pay for new solar lighting systems, I believe this is an excellent way for Teams to support Major League Baseball’s Team Greening Initiative”. Stated Wilcox. He goes on to say, “Also, because the sponsors name and logo are attached to these solar lights, they receive high profile recognition for supporting the team AND clean energy with more ‘bang-for-the-buck’ then just hanging their name on a sign, inside the park…an obvious ‘win-win’, for all”.

Wilcox also adds, “I am very pleased to support this endeavor. Like my fellow Board member Linda Gray, ‘I believe we must change to truly clean and sustainable sources of energy’. Because this initiative will fund and help raise clean energy awareness at sporting venues, it will generate a chain reaction of participation which will assist in America’s transition to 21^st century energy.”

About NAAWP -- Modeled after the successful Adopt-A-Highway acknowledgment program, the National Adopt-A-Watt™ Program gives sponsors community recognition for funding clean energy, alternative fuel and energy-efficiency projects.

Financially strapped public agencies serve as Hosts and are the program beneficiaries.

The program arranges and coordinates all sponsorship, financing, installation and ongoing maintenance for sponsor-able photo-voltaic displays (SPVD). An SPVD is either a complete .5 kW solar electric system or a solar lighting system. SPVDs uniquely save or generate clean energy and offer a new source of revenue to fund other energy-saving equipment or alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure.

Sponsorship of SPVDs is arranged via a virtual auction process at the National Adopt-A-Watt™ website, www.adopt-a-watt.com. This permits global participation and matches sponsor needs with optional locations.

In addition to offering individuals, foundations and non-profits an impacting and visible means of displaying philanthropy; sponsorship presents an exciting, new, alternative media platform for corporations to benefit the communities they serve while demonstrating 21st century Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and generating favorable, 365 day per year, brand awareness.

NAAWP is endorsed by many prominent alternative fuel organizations and has the support of (41) Clean Cities coalitions in (21) states.

City of Taylor, Taylor Schools to benefit from Adopt-A-Watt™ solar school bus stop lights program

Dad 019

TAYLOR, MI - July 23, 2009 – The Taylor Board of Education has embraced the City of Taylor’s Adopt-A-Watt ™ clean energy program.

The school board voted unanimously on Monday, July 14, to move forward with sponsored solar school bus stop lights in the Taylor School District through the National Adopt-A-Watt Program.

The program will increase safety for school children and generate new revenue for clean energy projects for both the Taylor schools and the City of Taylor, which initiated the program months ago.

It is projected that 50 new solar lights will be installed at school bus stops in Taylor. Sponsorships will completely pay for the lights. Revenue raised in excess of the cost of the lights will be divided evenly between the school district and city.

The excess funds can be used for any purpose that reduces fossil fuel consumption and operating costs. Projects under consideration include the purchase of new plug-in hybrid electric vehicles for the city and, for the school district, cleaner burning biodiesel fuel for school buses or even large-scale solar electric systems for school buildings.

The cost for sponsoring solar school bus stop lights is relatively inexpensive. For instance, all 50 solar lights in the Taylor School District could be sponsored for the average yearly cost of a single highway billboard in Metro Detroit.

“City officials enjoy a great working relationship with the Taylor Board of Education and the superintendent’s office,” Mayor Cameron G. Priebe said. “The Adopt-A-Watt Program is a win-win situation for everyone. The program generates energy, thus reducing energy costs and the carbon footprint. Meanwhile, corporate sponsorship creates publicity for local businesses and promotes goodwill within the community.”

Taylor Schools Superintendent Bethany Iverson added: “We’ve completed a number of projects with the city and the Taylor schools are proud to partner with the city on the Adopt-A-Watt program. It’s great for the environment, important for our city and a wonderful addition for our schools and the safety of our students.”

Adopt-A-Watt is a Royal Oak-based company that recruits corporate sponsors to pay a fee for solar panels or solar lights. The panels or lights are erected in a city and a sign is posted with the name of each sponsor. Thomas A. Wither, founder of the National Adopt-A-Watt Program, said the move is a step forward for the city and school district.

“This action taken by the school board, as well as a previous acceptance by Taylor’s City Council, clearly demonstrates this community’s concern for its school children’s welfare and its desire for a clean energy future,” Wither said. “We are very pleased with the board’s acceptance of our program and especially appreciate the support and contribution to this project by Mayor Priebe and Department of Public Works Superintendent Bob Mach.”

State Rep. Douglas Geiss, a former Taylor councilman, said clean energy is important in Taylor, Michigan and across the United States.

“We have come to a point where clean, sustainable energy should undeniably be a top priority,” Geiss said, “and as a member of the House Energy and Technology Committee, I am fighting to see that programs such as this are implemented to ensure that the State of Michigan is an active participant in achieving the goal of energy independence. I am glad to see this project come to fruition for the City of Taylor and its schools. Likewise, as a father of two, I am pleased to see steps taken to further ensure the safety of our children.”

Actress and activist Linda Gray, perhaps best known for her role as Sue Ellen on the long-running hit show “Dallas,” praised Taylor for its moves in the right direction.

“Because of my concern for women and children’s health issues, as well as serving on the Advisory Board of the National Adopt-A-Watt Program, I am especially pleased to see Taylor’s involvement in this endeavor that not only offers additional safety for school children but also funds and raises clean energy awareness,” Gray said. “In my work at the U.N. (United Nations), I have learned that education is the key to change and believe we must change to truly clean and sustainable sources of energy. Always remember: the world is not given to us by our parents, but is loaned to us by our children.”

Sponsoring Opportunities

Sponsoring opportunities for solar school bus stop lights are now available in Taylor.

“Sponsorship offers a high-profile opportunity to show support for clean energy, children and the community,” Wither said. “In addition to offering individuals, foundations and nonprofits an impacting and visible means of displaying philanthropy, the National Adopt-A-Watt Program presents an exciting new alternative media platform for corporations to benefit the communities they serve while demonstrating 21st Century corporate social responsibility and generating favorable brand awareness 365 days a year.”

Actress And Environmentalist Linda Gray Joins National Adopt-A-Watt Clean Energy And Alternative Fuel Program As Phase III Takes Off

The Adopt-A-Watt global initiative funds clean energy, alternative fuel and energy efficiency programs as it works to mitigate the disastrous effects of burning fossil fuels.

For Immediate Release

ROYAL OAK , MI/EWORLDWIRE/Oct. 26, 2006 --- As the public more fervently pursues energy alternatives, the progress of the Adopt-A-Watt program becomes measurable - or at the very least, more visible, as well-known citizens get involved.

“Everyone today understands the importance of exploring energy alternatives - having a celebrity like Linda Gray associated with our project attracts a wider audience and more attention to our cause as we move into our final phase of development,” stated Thomas A. Wither, founder and principal of the National Adopt-A-Watt™ Program.

The mission of Adopt-A-Watt is to fund and implement clean energy in the form of Solar PV Displays (SPVDs). Through a sequence of phases designed to raise awareness of its goal and to bring communities across the country into participating roles, Adopt-A-Watt provides an additional advertising model for businesses that want to support clean energies and alternative fuels while exercising philanthropic, socially responsible services. The National Adopt-A-Watt program is endorsed by the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition (NEVC) the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC) and the National Biodiesel Board.

Since its Phase I 'Grass Roots Support' campaign began in January, the program has contacted over 900 highway-bordering communities covering 34 states, with support received from 41 Clean Cities Coalitions in 21 states, and Phase II 'Deployment' has generated project discussions with transportation and government officials from Maine to Hawaii.

In Phase III, sites are available for sponsorship and pre-bid applications are now being accepted. "We are delighted with our results to date," commented Wither.

Breaking America’s Dependence On Foreign Oil

Uniquely, support of the National Adopt-A-Watt program not only helps clear the air but also benefits communities and reduces America's dependence on foreign oil. "The 'big idea' was to create a completely managed program that would also provide economic incentive for government agencies to utilize their fleet vehicles, as part of the solution," added Wither. Currently, there is a much-publicized 'chicken or egg' infrastructure dilemma facing automakers and energy companies. "The National Adopt-A-Watt Program can initiate a chain-reaction to break this deadlock."

The patent pending National Adopt-A-Watt sponsorship program partners time-tested principles of successful Naming Rights with Adopt-A-Highway and Logo programs to fund clean energy, alternative fuel and energy efficiency projects. The program arranges and coordinates all financing, installation and on-going maintenance.

Green Is The New Red, White and Blue

Sponsoring is arranged via a virtual auction process on the National Adopt-A-Watt Web site. This permits global participation and matches sponsor needs with available locations at rest areas, travel plazas, bridges, tunnels, airports, sports/entertain complexes, schools or hospitals.

"This is a wonderful goodwill/advertising opportunity for companies to get their name in front of consumers and simultaneously performing a multitude of public services - Adopt-A-Watt.com becomes the eBay of clean energy funding," said Wither.

About Adopt-A-Watt Inc.

Adopt-A-Watt is a global initiative originated for the beneficial purpose of funding clean energy, alternative fuel and energy efficiency programs. Passionate about mitigating the disastrous effects that burning fossil fuels are having on the planet, Adopt-A-Watt donates all program-generated clean electricity back to the community.
