Schools Can Earn Cash by Collecting Labels from Participating Tyson®
Products
SPRINGDALE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2013--
Just in time to kick-off another school year, Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN - News) is
pleased to reintroduce the Tyson
Project A+ program, aimed at helping to
improve educational experiences through national fundraising efforts.
Starting now, students and parents can easily raise funds for their
local school through the Tyson Project A+ program and help make
the upcoming school year the best yet by simply clipping and saving
product labels from some of their favorite Tyson® products. Each
label is valued at $0.24, and is redeemable for cash to be used at the
school’s discretion. Families across the country will agree that
supporting schools has never been so easy, or tasted so good.
The program is designed to help parents make positive changes in their
communities through opportunities to assist educators in purchasing
necessary supplies and scholastic resources that will directly benefit
students. Whether it’s new art supplies, gym equipment or classroom
materials teachers often purchase on their own, schools can gain quicker
access to all that is needed for the school year by working with
families to collect eligible Tyson product labels.
“Parents can feel confident they’re fueling their kids with good
nutrients and delicious food while supporting education,” said
Darci
Severson
, product manager for Tyson Foods. “We want to make it easier
for parents to get back into the school routine by providing them with
meal and snack solutions to keep kids full from the morning bus stop to
bedtime.”
Joining in on the fundraising fun is easy and delicious with more than
40 popular Tyson products eligible through the Tyson Project A+
program. Choose from a variety of foods from Tyson® Any’tizers®
snacks, Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Frozen Chicken, Tyson Crispy
Strips, Tyson Fun Nuggets and Tyson Mini Chicken
Sandwiches. The program is available to school grades from preschool to
twelfth. Follow these three simple steps to participate:
-
Register your school online at http://projectaplus.tyson.com.
-
Clip and save all Tyson Project A+ labels from participating Tyson
products.
-
Turn in your labels to your participating school.
-
Labels are submitted to the program by the school (100 label minimum)
and redeemed for cash.
This year, Tyson Foods has partnered with School Family Media and PTO
Today, the leading magazine for school PTO and PTA leaders. The
partnership adds valuable visibility to the Tyson Project A+
program by working closely with PTO leaders and parents in local
communities to develop a connection between establishing good eating
habits and supporting local schools. The partnership will inspire PTO
leaders and parents to register for the program and encourage kids to
eat more nutritious foods, like those offered in the Tyson
product line-up.
“We look forward to celebrating the new school year with a Tyson Foods
partnership,” said
Tim Sullivan
, founder of School Family Media.
“There’s no better cause than local education, and we love it when a
prominent company like Tyson Foods gets behind a program like the Tyson
Project A+ program. School PTOs and PTAs and parents across
the country are enthusiastic supporters of this kind of program that
they know will help their local schools.”
