As moms, “caregiving” is part of our job description. So it should come as no surprise that the majority of our country’s caregivers are women providing care for children, family or a friend. The folks at CVS/pharmacy want to honor these caregivers, and have created the “For All the Ways You Care” contest as a way to celebrate caregivers in America. They’ve introduced
ForAllTheWaysYouCare.com - a forum for people to share a story about someone who has touched their life or how they personally have touched another's. From stories submitted on the site, CVS/pharmacy and a panel of esteemed judges will select 10 caregivers to be treated to a luncheon and luxury weekend in New York City in early May.
As a thank you for their commitment to caring, nine finalists will each receive $10,000 and a grand prize winner will receive $25,000!
CVS/pharmacy has also created a fun promotion for TwitterMoms, to spread the word about the For All the Ways You Care contest.
We invite you to start the dialogue by telling us about a caregiver in your life.
How it Works:
To participate, simply write a post
on your blog about a caregiver in your life – it could even be yourself! The only requirement we ask is that your post includes at least one link to
www.ForAllTheWaysYouCare.com so your readers can learn more about the CVS/pharmacy caregiving contest. Then return to this discussion page, post a comment below summarizing your blog post, and include an active link to your qualifying blog entry. That’s it!
Deadline to enter is Friday, Feb. 27 at 11:59 p.m. EST.
