NEENAH, Wis., July 14 /PRNewswire/ — To help bring some fun — and extra resources — back to school, Kimberly-Clark has launched the Rock Your School Sweepstakes to offer parents a chance to win 100,000 Bonus Box Tops, plus an exclusive concert featuring Radio Disney star and Hollywood Records artist Jordan Pruitt for their child’s school.
The Box Tops for Education fundraising program supports schools with grades K through 8 by providing cash for each Box Top consumers send in from specially marked packages of participating Kimberly-Clark brands. Dozens of K-C product packages display the Box Tops logo, including trusted brands like Kleenex, Cottonelle and Kotex.
“Schools are continually challenged to fund the technology, text books, equipment and programs students need,” said Laura Keely, Director of Kimberly-Clark’s Consumer Promotion Marketing.
“This promotion offers parents a chance to help stock their children’s’ classrooms with necessary supplies.”
Bonus Box Tops go a long way. Here is what 100,000 of them — equivalent to $10,000 — could mean to the average classroom:
— Technology Upgrades: A mobile cart complete with 20 laptops with wireless capabilities to allow travel from classroom to classroom
— The Necessities: Enough No. 2 pencils that, laid pencil to eraser, would stretch across the length of more than 145 football fields
— Hands-on Learning Outside the Classroom: A class trip for 20 students in Los Angeles, Calif., to visit Washington, D.C. — including airfare, hotel accommodations and a guided tour of the Capital
Rock Back to School
In addition to the 100,000 Bonus Box Tops prize, the winning school also will receive a concert featuring pop singer Jordan Pruitt. Pruitt will perform songs from both her new album “Permission to Fly,” available this summer, and her debut album, “No Ordinary Girl.” Pruitt, 17, is no stranger to the stage. In her three-year career, she’s opened for the Jonas Brothers, the Cheetah Girls and Vanessa Hudgens, and even performed at the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll this year.
“When I was in grade school, my mom and I always clipped Box Tops together, and it was great to see how much money my school raised,” said Pruitt.
