Want to Win a New Computer AND Help Classrooms Across the Nation???

September 7th, 2010 | 99 Comments

Virtual School Bag Mamanistas are givers. We want to give all the best to our families and we want children throughout the world to have those same opportunities for health, education, and fulfillment.

Right here in the United States, there are classrooms that lack basic school supplies–and teachers going into debt trying to fill those needs for their students. Adopt-A-Classroom helps properly fund classroom activities throughout the country.

Elmer’s wants to donate up to $10,000 to Adopt-A-Classroom but we need YOUR help to Bag It Forward.

Through Elmer’s Bag It Forward Program, I was able to provide backpacks filled with supplies for the children of ten enlisted National Guard soldiers.

Now you can help, too–without even leaving your home or opening your wallet.

We know you want to help anyway but to sweeten the deal, you will also be entered to win a $1200 NEW COMPUTER!!!

Want to help show the power of social media?

It is very simple. All you have to do is hop on over to BagItForward.org and find out how you can virtually donate a bag to earn $10 for Adopt-A-Classroom and earn an entry to win a computer!

Elmer’s will donate up to $10,000 to Adopt-A-Classroom with your participation. Join now!
