Over $5000 to be Awarded to Local Area Schools
Heath, Ohio (August 16, 2011) – Indian Mound Mall officials announced today that the mall will award over $5000 to local area schools this fall. Indian Mound Mall drives its commitment to children’s education through Earning for Learning, a partnership program designed to promote and support education in local school districts. Earning for Learning encourages local residents to shop at Indian Mound Mall over a six-week promotional period to earn “points,” and ultimately the chance to earn cash prizes, for the school of their choice.
"We are very excited to bring this program to the Heath/Newark area again this year. Schools are so important to our community and we are very proud to offer this program in our area in support of our local schools," said Kristie Holmes, Marketing Director at Indian Mound Mall. "We"re pleased that this program has been so successful in the previous years and that Earning for Learning has become an annual event at Indian Mound Mall."
Now through September 25, each dollar that customers spend can be turned into points for the school of their choice. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are identified as “Double Point Days” and receipts from those select days earn the school double points. In addition, two retailers have been selected each week and designated as double point retailer. These stores, as well as other details are listed on the mall’s website, www.indianmoundmall.com. Shoppers simply redeem their receipts for points at the Mall Management Office and designate their points to the school of their choice.
Customers may also be winners as part of this program. For every receipt that customers turn in, they will be given the opportunity to enter to win a $50 Indian Mound Mall Retailer Gift Card. One $50 gift card will be awarded to a lucky customer each week of the six-week program.
Indian Mound Mall will keep a tally board updated weekly at the mall. Each week prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place winners. Prizes are $500, $250 & $100 respectively. Shoppers have until September 25, 2011 to turn in their receipts at Indian Mound Mall.
At the end of the contest, winning schools receive a special visit from Indian Mound Mall and its partners at which time they will receive their prizes. The winning schools will be notified by October 7, 2011.
Last year, seven area schools won cash prizes including: Blessed Sacrament - $2000; Hebron Elementary - $1350; Liberty Middle School - $600; Par Excellence Academy - $600; Licking County Christian Academy - $350; St. Francis de Sales - $100 and Thornville Elementary - $100.
Every K-12 school in the Licking County area is eligible to participate in the contest and is not required to sign-up. Indian Mound Mall encourages residents to show their school spirit by participating in the Earning for Learning program and turn their shopping dollars into money for local schools.
