How it works:
-
There's no need to register for the promotion. Just start donating April 1, 2014!
-
A Goodwill donation attendant will provide you with a special donation slip. Remember: only donations made between April 1 and April 30, 2014, will count!
-
Simply indicate your school name, city and number of items donated. Return the slip to the donation attendant.*
-
The school with the greatest number of items donated will receive a visit from Stanley Cup Champion Patrick Sharp!**
*Donation Slips:
-
Any slips that do not have an exact number written for the "Number of items donated" will be estimated by the donation attendant
-
Goodwill reserves the right to count a donation collection as one item (ie: a bag of 100 marbles = 1 item and not 100 items)
-
If any donation exceeds 999 items in one visit, the Goodwill Store Manager will need to sign the donation drive slip, in order for it to be counted
-
Slips that are not legible or filled out entirely (name of school and city) will not be counted
-
Goodwill is not responsible for any slips that are not received, are lost, or illegible
-
Management reserves the right to verify the number of items indicated by the donor on the submitted donation slip, to ensure accurate counts for this challenge
