Betty Crocker Win And Give Sweepstakes

Have you heard about the Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks Win & Give program? The goal of the program is to encourage kids to give to others. I think it’s important to teach our children the value of community service and helping others. Not long ago I formed a local Special Olympics team and our track and field program just started. I was so touched by the number of volunteers that came forward offering to help, but I was especially pleased to see how many of them were children.

Did you know that 83 percent of kids believe that they can help children in other countries in addition to people in their own communities? That’s according to the “Kids’ Altruism Indicator” conducted in partnership with Parenting magazine. Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks wants to make it easy for kids to give back locally and globally.

Now through May kids in the U.S. have an opportunity to instantly win a laptop from specially-marked packages of Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks. For each laptop won, Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks will donate a laptop to a child in Africa. It’s that simple.

To find out how the laptops positively impact the lives of the children and to learn ways parents can talk to their kids about giving back, visit www.WinOneGiveOne.com. While on the site you can play a game where you launch a hero to Africa. For every 1500 heroes that land on Africa, Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks will donate a laptop to a kid in Africa up to 442 laptops from 12/1/10 – 5/31/11.

WIN IT!
