Help a Local School with Sprite Spark Parks Project {Giveaway}

by

Unfortunately in today’s economy, we are all too familiar with budget cuts and how they effect our own lives.  Outside of our home, budget cuts are also effecting our local schools and playgrounds.  As schools look for ways to tighten the purse strings, sports and other recreational programs are the first to disappear. While I want my children to get a first rate education, I also want them to be able to let their imaginations run wild and release energy on the playground!

While New Orleans has made a remarkable recover from the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, I will be the first to admit that some programs are still suffering…one of which is our local parks.  Because of this, I am thrilled to hear about the Sprite Spark Parks Project!  Sprite has committed to several years of improving active spaces across the country by investing $2 million dollars to resurrect over 150 parks including athletic fields, playgrounds and basketball courts.

Do you have a school that could use a little Sprite Spark?  From July-September, you can nominate your school for a $25,000 makeover!  If you are a My Coke Rewards member, simply head to the Schools Program page and enter the points codes found on all Sprite and Sprite Zero products.  Not a member?  No problem, new member registration is free!

  33. I would nominate our daughter’s school so that they could add more appeal to the school and playground.

  61. I would nominate the preschool next to my house. They do a great job with the kids and I’d love to see them have a new and improved outdoor play area!

  75. Preschool near my house needs a total makeover. Th grass is so tall u woud hardly know there was a building behind it.

  125. There is a huge parcel of vacant land owned by our city that sits beside our local Elementary school.

    The school is in desperate need of a new playground. The kids only have a few pieces of outdated equipment to play on in a very confined space.

    I think the adjacent space could easily be turned into a new playground that could even include a sports field.

    Hopefully, this is something the citizens can get the city and the Province to do very soon.

    Thanks for the great giveaway. ~Pauline

    I’d locate a needy school in Southern FL, where I live in the winter. So many of them are in ragged shape, it wouldn’t be hard to find one that could use a makeover!!!

  375. A nearby elementary school has a huge field that is empty. I’d love to see them use that to build a great play area.

  376. I’d nominate an athletic field for a school on our block that recently closed due to financial concerns. It would make a great area for all kinds of activities for kids. Katharina angelsandmusic[at]gmail[dot]com

  388. I would nominate the school just down the road from us as it was newly built and the children are starting school this year without a playground.

  409. I would nominate Lincoln Elementary school in Minot, ND, because although I’m not from Minot (I’ve never actually been there), they got some incredible flooding this summer and this school’s playground was wiped out. Those kids deserve a fun (and safe place) to play once their school is repaired!

  439. Definitely, Southeast Raleigh High School needs that makeover! The track team has to run on a busy road because there is no track on school grounds.

  446. I would love for our school to have a school wide community garden. I am not sure how that would work but it would be great for the kids. reejen at comcast dot net

  454. I would nominate my son’s school, Alpine Elementary. His playground is retched!

  461. HI I am so sorry to hear your town is still suffering I hope they are able to get the help they need .
    I would nominate Central Middle school in Oklahoma. Although it is a middle school they also school severe special needs children like my son and this would go a long way to help their program. The money would go a long way to help the special needs students expecially with teaching them ( RE) special olympics. My son is blind in both eyes with many other handicaps and they are teaching him to swim and teaching other children many other sports that the parents and Dr’s thought would never be possiable! It is really a great program. Thank you for the chance to win this give away I am sure who ever wins it will love it and again I hope your school is able to get the help they not only need but deserve. Trina

  480. Thanks for the giveaway…Tonalea Elementary School – Scottsdale AZ could use an upgrade to their play space !

  483. I’d love to spruce up the playground of a local elementary school by having sun shades installed and replacing the wood mulch with something softer that doesn’t have splinters.

  485. I don’t have any kids but what I’d do is ask my neighbor if her son’s school could use it.
    Thanks for the contest.
