As a member of My Blog Spark, I am lucky enough to be able to offer some really wonderful giveaways here on my blog, through their wonderful brand campaigns. The most recent is brought to you by Cheerios. Through their initiative to nurture through reading not only young bodies but also young minds, Cheerios will provide more than six million children’s books, free inside Cheerios boxes, through its Spoonfuls of Stories® program. Over the past nine years, Cheerios has distributed almost 50 million children’s books in-pack.
As studies have consistently shown, children with greater access to books and other print materials are more successful in school and in life. However, one recent study revealed that in low-income neighborhoods, there is only about one age-appropriate book for every 300 children,* a statistic that exposes one of the biggest barriers affecting literacy today – lack of access to books. In an effort to help combat this issue, Cheerios, as part of its Spoonfuls of Stories initiative, will also make a $300,000 financial donation to First Book, an award-winning national nonprofit that helps get books into the hands of children in need. Cheerios has donated more than $3.5 million to First Book over the past nine years.
It is extremely heartbreaking to me to think of the children who do not have access to books and the joy of reading. Reading, to me, is a way to escape for a few minutes and experience an entire new world through the authors eyes. There are stories for anyone and everyone. I just love watching my children’s expressions when I read to them. And I love even more listening as they learn to read and share the stories they love with me.
As a mother, I am thrilled to be able to share this campaign with you! Cheerios and MyBlogSpark are giving one very lucky Cinnamon Hollow reader a prize pack containing:
- 1 box of Cheerios cereal
- All 5 in-pack titles
- $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble
This is a wonderful prize pack!
