Help your school win a playground makeover with Dannon's Rally for Recess!

Everyone wants kids to grow up active and strong, but with education budgets being cut all across the nation, school playgrounds and fields are showing signs of neglect, and more and more schools are being forced to shorten recess or eliminate it entirely.  This is an absolute tragedy -- not only do kids need a place and time to play for physical reasons, they also need it to keep them focused on schoolwork.

That’s why Danimals® and Danonino® are committed to helping schools keep recess in the picture with their Rally for Recess campaign.  They are giving schools the chance to win one of five $30,000 playground makeovers.  Individuals can also enter to win one of three $1,000 Playtime at Home prizes.

Here's how to enter:
1) Collect codes on specially marked Danimals® and Danonino® (you can also get one free by mail; for details, read the Official Rules).

2) Sign up online at RallyforRecess.com and enter your codes for points.  You will need to choose whether you want to enter your points for the school of your choice (i.e. to win a Playground Makeover), or for yourself (i.e. to win a Playtime at Home prize).

3) Enter as many codes as you like, but make sure you enter your codes before 11:59:59 p.m. ET on 1/31/13.

That's it!  The school with the most points at the end of the contest period wins the Playground Makeover!  Obviously the schools with more students will find it easier to gather codes, so schools will be divided into 5 separate groups based on the number of students attending each school.  The school with the most points in each group wins, for a total of 5 Playground Makeovers. So get your kids' classmates together, call your PTA board members, get everyone collecting codes!  What a wonderful way to pull together and show some school spirit.

 If you enter codes for yourself, you've got a chance to win a Playtime At Home prize -- the top 3 individuals with the highest number of points accrued with each receive a Playtime At Home prize worth $1,000!
