The school is asked to provide a 6 to 8 feet-long table, small desk and a small wastepaper basket in the performance area.
Can we include special messaging, like our school theme, in the show?
Yes, our performers are able to seamlessly incorporate special themes such as anti-bullying, attendance, testing-preparation, leadership or a particular character quality into the main NED message. The NED Show is an excellent way to generate excitement around a school theme or emphasis. Discuss special messaging with your Account Executive prior to the show date.
How many kids can come to each show? Can my school have more than one show?
Our show was developed for an all-school audience and is best received with the entire school present. We typically will perform a single show for up to 600 students. Seating is camp-style. Please contact an Account Executive for more details.

PAYING FOR THE PROGRAM:
How much does NED's Mindset Mission assembly cost?
We offer three choices when hosting our show, including our no cost, Pay-It-Forward™ payment option.

Standard Fee – $1,400

NED Deluxe – $1,500-2,300 (Each K-6 student that attends the assembly receives a NED-messaged yo-yo)

Pay-It-Forward™ – No Cost (Our most popular option)
How does the no cost, Pay-It-Forward® Payment Option work?
The Pay-It-Forward payment option is a unique way to bring our program to your school at no cost. Instead of paying a flat fee for the program, schools invite us to perform NED’s Mindset Mission and then make NED-messaged items available for purchase for 5-10 school days following the assembly. These items reinforce multi-sensory learning and are tangible reminders that increase a student's ability to retain the message long after the assembly. There is no minimum sale requirement and all items come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. This option means your budget doesn't become a factor in whether or not you can share NED's character-building principles with your students because another school has already covered the cost. In return, the proceeds from your sale allow us to visit another school at no cost as well. Learn more about our Pay-It-Forward® payment option here...
So what’s the catch? This sounds too good to be true.
Literally there are no strings attached (pun intended). All for KIDZ is exactly what our name says. We have a passion to reach as many kids as possible and create change in every child who sees our show and hears the NED message. It’s about the message. That’s why we do what we do.
NED REWARDS - 10% NED CERTIFICATE:
What is a NED Rewards Gift Certificate?
When a school's Pay-It-Forward sale exceeds $1400, the school receives a NED certificate for 10% of the entire sale amount.NED Rewards Gift Certificates are redeemable for NED messaged school supplies on ShopNED.com.
When can we expect to receive our NED Certificate?
Once our warehouse receives your unsold product and payment, it typically takes 3 weeks to process your certificate. The certificate is emailed to the person who confirmed the booking.
We haven't received our NED Certificate what should we do?
Please contact our accounting department to check on the status of your gift certificate.
