Help donate school supplies to classrooms with Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward!
For me, doing the back to school shopping just started last year and I can tell that it will become more and more of a larger chore as my girls get older. I have to say though that though I am sometimes amazed at the number of supplies that one can find, Walmart makes it easy and their prices are great! Being a member of Collective Bias I was excited to find that they were working with Elmer’s to help Adopt-A-Classroom make a difference in classrooms across the country by donating up to $10,000 in school supplies!
How can you help?
It’s easy to join in the Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward – all you have to do is write a post on your blog to donate a virtual bag of school supplies. For every post written before 12pm EST on August 12, 2010, Elmer’s will donate $10 to Adopt-A-Classroom, up to $10,000. You can give as many virtual bags as you want!

Isn't it such a shameful thing that schools are so underfunded that we need a charity like “Adopt-a-Classroom”! Good on you for taking the time to spread the word and make a difference!!
If you'd like to donate another post to a good cause, from Aug 6th, when you GIVE a blog post describing why you are (or would like to be) a clean water Change Agent, you'll be eligible for a chance to join a P&G Children's Safe Drinking Water Program expedition. Plus you could win $15,000 for your favorite charity that's working in the front lines of the global water crisis. Rally your readers to vote for you and share your story. Each time they do, P&G will donate a day's worth of clean drinking water (2L) to a person in need in a developing country!
