$50 gift card giveaway from Box Tops for Education

Posted on | November 18, 2008 | 79 Comments

Are you familiar with this logo? I know I am, we collect Box Tops for our school. My kids can spot the logo a mile away. Most schools run a program and all you do is cut the box top off the products you purchase and send them into school. The school then redeems the box tops for money.

Well, Box Tops for Education now has a marketplace where you can shop and earn additional money for your school. I really like the layout, it’s very user friendly. They also have a few stores that I can’t get money back from anywhere else. So, I can shop at Staples through the marketplace and the school gets credit! There are a number of stores to choose from. You can check out Box Tops for Education here, or visit the marketplace directly here. It’s an easy way to help your school raise money!

So here is the fun part, Box Tops for Education has given me a $50 gift card (to JCPenney) to give away to one of my readers. You can use it through Box Tops for Education’s Marketplace or at any JCPenney store. All you need to do is visit Box Tops for Education’s Marketplace here, then come back and leave a comment (with a way for me to e-mail you if you win). You can earn one extra entry for each of the following:

Post about this giveaway on your blog and link back to the giveaway.
Add sweetwatersavings.com to your blogroll or favorites (or other similar link) on your blog.

Make sure to leave a separate comment for each entry (I’m learning as I go, I had to add some manually last time).

You can enter this giveaway until 11/22/2008 at 12:00 midnight EST. Winner will be chosen using random.org. One entry per person, unless earning extra entries. Extra entries allows up to 3 entries per person. I will contact and post the winner on 11/23/2008. Winner has 3 days to respond otherwise another winner will be chosen.

Hi!
I’ve started to collect box tops for our school. We haven’t participated in many school fundraisers this year because I don’t want to ask people to buy stuff that they really don’t need when the economy is poor. Box Tops are a great way to raise money for the school without having to sell anything!
