CouponCabin.com Announces Winners of Back-to-School Video Contest
WHITING, Ind., Sept. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — CouponCabin.com, a leading online
coupon destination, has identified the three winners of its Back-to-School Video
Contest, which took place from August 8 to September 18, 2011.
The grand prize winner of $15,000 is Leonard R. Flynn Elementary School in San
Francisco, Calif. The school is comprised of primarily low-income families that
have little or no access to arts activities outside of school. The goal for
Flynn is to raise funds for their arts and music programs in order to enrich the
students’ opportunities for creative growth and artistic expression.
“We received dozens of deserving video entries and the judges had a difficult
time narrowing it down,” said Jackie Warrick, President and Chief Savings
Officer of CouponCabin.com. “We were thrilled with the video created by Leonard
R. Flynn Elementary School; it was outstanding in every category, and we are
pleased that the prize will help fund their arts and music programs.”
The second place winner of $10,000 is Renaissance Charter High School in East
Harlem, New York. More than 90 percent of its students live in poverty, more
than 40 percent have learning disabilities and more than 24 percent are
over-aged. The school plans to use the prize for iPads to enhance engagement and
academic results. This innovative approach aligns with the school’s three-tiered
educational model that includes core academics, project-based learning and
hands-on, experiential learning outside the classroom.
The third place winner of $5,000 is Waters Elementary in Chicago, Ill., which
will use the prize to teach the importance of “Earth Education,” including field
trips, science projects and the ongoing transformation of the school’s outdoor
space.
“We can’t express our gratitude to CouponCabin for this generous prize,” said
Moriah Ulinskas, Fundraising Co-Chair from Leonard R. Flynn Elementary School.
“I believe this video captures the spirit of Flynn, which is a school with many
challenges, but driven by incredibly dedicated teachers and staff serving
deserving children. Winning this award sends the message that this dedication
and spirit is recognized and rewarded which is an invaluable message to our
children and their families.”
