Save Those Food Labels for Fundraising
Not only do we make money from turning in Box Tops, we also raise funds from Coke Rewards and Tyson Foods.
Look for BoxTop labels on your boxes of Kleenex, cereal, Go-Gurt, dish detergent, etc. You'll find Coke Rewards on the bottle caps and inside the packaging. Tyson labels are on your favorite bag of Tyson chicken.
Simply cut these out, save them and we'll send home bags soon for your student to bring back to CES.
