KUAC is collecting children's sweaters through Feb. 20 in honor of 50 years of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."

The iconic sweaters worn by the late PBS television host Fred Rogers symbolize kindness and warmth. New or gently used children's sweaters, fleece tops or sweatshirts may be placed in donation barrels at either Fred Meyer store, Fairbanks Children's Museum or Artisan's Courtyard. Items will be donated to the Interior Alaska Center for Non-Violent Living at the end of the drive.

For more information, contact Nancy Tarnai at 474-1890 or nancy.kuac@alaska.edu.
