BJ’s Adopt-A-School Program Partners with Kellogg’s + $50 Gift Card Giveaway

If you are new to shopping at BJ’s you may want to scroll through this page because they have some amazing programs that take place behind the scenes that I never knew existed as an everyday shopper.

Kellogg’s  is making a book donation in support of BJ’s Adopt-A-School program.  This year is the 20th anniversary of the program.  Plus if you are not signed up with the Kellogg’s Family Rewards program you can earn points for cash, prizes and coupons when you buy Kellogg’s items. It’s totally free to sign up and I love using the program.

It’s super easy to enter to win the $50 BJ’s Gift Card. Just post a picture of your children reading and post the pic with the hashtag #giftofreadingsweepstakes for a chance to win!

Schools participating in BJ’s Adopt-A-School Giving program receive:

• A one-time donation to use toward discretionary programs, such as field trips
  and special events, reading enhancement programs or other educational needs.
• A complimentary BJ’s Business Membership, providing access to low-cost, high-quality supplies.

From BJ’s site:

This long-running program is just another way we’re showing how much we care about our Members and
the communities that they live in.

In 2015, BJ’s adopted 213 public elementary schools. To see the full list of 2015 – 2016 Adopt-A-School partner schools, click here.

We’re Celebrating Our 20^th Anniversary by Supporting Amazing Educators!

We decided to celebrate our anniversary — and honor the spirit of BJ’s Adopt-A-School program — by supporting educators and students as they work toward their goals for the next 20 years.

Thanks to the generous support of General Mills, we were able to offer five $10,000 grants and invite teachers and students to send us a multimedia description of their dreams, their goals and how they’ll achieve them with help from BJ’s.

After reviewing the entries we can truly say, it was a hard decision. Take a minute and check out the highlights from the winning schools’ proposals. We think you’ll find them as fun, unique and inspiring as we did.

Many Classrooms Across the Country Face Shortages in Funding.

That’s why helping students get a proper education is one of our main priorities at BJ’s. Through various efforts, including BJ’s Adopt-A-School program and our recent BJ’s Charitable Foundation^® grant to DonorsChoose.org, we’re providing schools with support to enhance programs and curriculum objectives.
