The Schools Can Receive Up to $10,000
DALLAS–The Dallas Independent School District's L.G. Pinkston High School and George W. Truett Elementary School are seeking the community's support to win up to $10,000 in a video contest.
Big Lots' 2009 Lots2Give program is committed to supporting community-based efforts that enhance the quality of education and helping schools in need of financial support.
The 26 participating schools put their creativity to the test in an online video contest in which they could win a share of $80,000 in cash prizes. The cash awards include one $10,000 grand prize, three $5,000 first prizes, and twenty-two $2,500 second prizes.
Selected schools were asked to submit a video explaining why their school is in need of financial support.
