Congratulations To The Winners Of Our 2009 Lots2Give Video Contest!
More than 300,000 votes were cast to determine the 26 schools to share $80,000 in cash prizes
We asked participating schools to submit a short video and brief essay explaining why their school is in need of financial support. From June 11 through July 12, the public voted for their favorite video right here at www.lots2give.com. More than 300,000 votes were cast to determine the 26 winners below, which include one $10,000 grand prize, three $5,000 first prizes, and twenty-two $2,500 second prizes.
In addition to the video contest, Big Lots established an in-store donation program to help the 103 schools participating in the Lots2Give program. From May 2 through July 12, Big Lots customers were invited to make $1 or $5 donations at participating stores. This initiative raised more than $74,000 to help participating schools. See the complete list of participating schools.
Special thanks to all Lots2Give participants and the thousands of Big Lots shoppers who voted!
