Target Seeks Votes for Local School Donations
You can vote online to get your school a share of up to $5 million in donations nationwide.
By Tyler Waldman
With schools across DC starting over this week and over the next few weeks, most parents are thinking about school supplies, among other things.
But how about supplies for your school? Target is running an online campaign where, if a school gets 25 votes on its Give With Target website, the retailer will donate $25 to the school, and an additional dollar for every vote after that.
As of Tuesday, Aug. 27 local schools had the following vote count:
Duke Ellington School of the Arts 275
Hardy Middle School 61
Hyde-Addison 4
Other schools, both private and public, are available for online voting, but currently do not have any votes. See how your school stacks up here.
Target will donate up to $5 million to schools nationwide, twice what the retailer set aside to donate in 2012. You can vote through Sept. 21.
