Highline Big Picture High School in SeaTac has won a $2,500 second place prize in the Big Lots Lots2Give video contest..
Big Lots asked participating schools to submit a short video and brief essay explaining why their school is in need of financial support. From June 11 through July 12, the public voted for their favorite video at www.lots2give.com. More than 300,000 votes were cast to determine the 26 winners.
In addition to the video contest, Big Lots established an in-store donation program to help the 103 schools participating in the Lots2Give program. From May 2 through July 12, Big Lots customers were invited to make $1 or $5 donations at participating Big Lots stores, with all donations going directly to participating schools.
This initiative raised more than $74,000 to help participating schools.
Big Picture High will also receive $684.50 from their share of the donations collected in-store throughout the Seattle/Tacoma market.
Midway Elementary School in Des Moines also participated in the Lots2Give program and will be receiving $684.50 for their school.
