TOMORROW:  ChiIL out with Co-host ChiIL Mama, The Motherhood, and a host of awesome bloggers, and find out how you can help out! 

Here at ChiIL Mama, we love Chi, IL and are raising 2 children here in the public schools. We've taught them to volunteer, give back and help their community.  We live in Chicago, a school district with 681 schools (2012-13) and a stunning 87% poverty rate!  (*stats via CPS)  It's difficult for children to learn when they're lacking basic resources and necessities and that impacts EVERYONE. SIMPLEGiving makes it easy to change lives!

We're looking forward to Wednesday's Champions for Kids #SIMPLEGiving Twitter party.

About Champions for Kids and SIMPLE Giving 

Champions for Kids

• Champions for Kids makes it simple to give children in local communities the resources they need to thrive.

• Helping others does not have to come in large doses. Champions for Kids seeks to ignite generational change by fostering a ‘habit of giving’ among youth and parents in America. 

SIMPLE Giving

• Did you know every year students in the United States miss more than 51 million hours of school due to dental-related illness? In fact, tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease, and if left untreated, it can affect children’s ability to eat, speak, learn, and play. 

• SIMPLE Giving is a Champions for Kids program that makes it simple for you to help kids in your community. To help children stay healthy and avoid missed school days, Champions for Kids is teaming up with Colgate for a SIMPLE Giving program to spread the importance of healthy oral care habits. Colgate will be donating $100,000 of oral care products to help children in need. 

• You can participate by simply purchasing and donating toothbrushes, toothpaste and hand soap at your local participating Walmart from March 22 through April 7. If your Walmart store is participating, simply purchase personal care items (such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap) and place them in the purple donation bins at the front of the store after checkout. To see a list of participating stores, click here. 

• All of the donations go to children the school district where the Walmart store is located.

Details for the Twitter Party

What: The Motherhood is honored to team up with Champions for Kids to help spread the word about their SIMPLE Giving program that helps keep kids healthy! From March 22 through April 7, Walmart stores in communities from across the United States will feature purple bins for shoppers to purchase and donate personal care items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand soap etc.) to be given to kids in local school districts. 

Champions for Kids will provide $10,000 to four school districts who collect the most donations from a single store in each Walmart division. Additionally, Champions for Kids will award $1,000 to ten school districts that collect the most donations from a single Walmart store in each region and $1,000 to four school districts that collect the most donations from a single Walmart Neighborhood Market store in each division. This money can go to providing additional oral care treatment, education, and items in the school district.
