I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
The summer in between my two years of getting my Master's degree in Psychology I decided that I wanted to see whether or not working with children was for me or not and I got a summer job at the local Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA). While I did find out that I would be much better suited working with adults, I did learn a lot about the BGCA's fantastic mission. There were tons of kids who attended the summer programming. There were children from all classes and all neighborhoods. For some, sadly, the BGCA summer program was their only source of positive socialization and the only place they could go to stay free from their neighborhood drugs and crime. Ever since working there I have been very fond of the organization and appreciate everything they do to make sure that kids can be kids as long as possible!
BGCA has partnered with jcpenney for the "jcpenney cares round up campaign". Participation is easy and painless. When you shop at jcpenney this summer you can opt to round up your total to the nearest dollar and the extra money will go toward supporting after school programs at Boys and Girls Clubs of America across the country. For example, lets say you do some back to school shopping and your total comes to $45.75. You can round your total up to $46 and 100% of the extra $0.25 will go to the jcpenney cares round up campaign. You don't have to worry about loose change or balancing an uneven amount in your checkbook and the BGCA benefits - everyone wins! This is such an easy way to give back to the community and I know I will be "rounding up" at my next shopping trip to jcpenney and I encourage you to do the same.
