Patch Announcements in Time for Graduation: Spread the Word for Free

Are you the proud parent, sibling, grandparent, friend or admirer of a student who's made the honor roll? Did you earn an awesome promotion, get engaged or married?

Share the good news on Gilroy Patch. Whether your child earned straight As for the first time, you've become a black belt, your company is looking for interns or you have a volunteer opportunity, Patch is the place to let it be known.

We offer free obituaries as well. Graduation time is approaching so let Patch spread the word about your student's big news.

We have categories for almost everything (graduation, births, accomplishments, sports awards, volunteers needed, deaths etc.), so feel free to post an announcement for just about anything. Gilroy Patch wants to help connect you with our community.

Make sure you're a registered user on Giroy Patch (all you need is a name and an email address) and you can upload your own announcements. Once logged in, scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Announce something to everyone" under the Contribute category.

In the announcement template, write a title. Select a category that best fits the announcement. Write a brief description. You can even add photos and video to accompany your announcement, and after posting, you can share the link with your friends and family.

It's that simple.
