WEEK 2 WINNER: “It’s just the Internet, Silly” (We’ll be in contact shortly via email)
What an amazing two months we’ve had with the General Mills I <3 BKFST campaign. Last month we gave away four iPods and this month we’ve given away 2 iPads so far with the third on deck. The truly inspiring part of the entire process is that for each person that takes the pledge to eat breakfast money is being donated by General Mills to Grace House, a home for girls in Alabama. We’ve enjoyed the great comments that you’ve left over the past two months sharing how you think the focus of the campaign is important and how you plan to eat breakfast each day with your children as well. As we bring everything to a close in it’s final week we we want to thank everyone that entered the contests and helped young girls in the process.
We still have one FREE iPad that needs to be shipped to someone’s home so don’t give up yet, this could be your chance. You can enter in just 3 easy steps!

More info on I <3 BKFST:
Did you know that when African American girls eat breakfast great things can happen? Researchers followed African American girls and their peers for 10 years! They learned that eating breakfast is an important start to your day. According to the research, girls who ate breakfast were more likely to have healthier weights and had lower total cholesterol.
Plus, breakfast gives you energy to start the day!
You can pledge to eat breakfast, and make good-for-you choices like milk, fruit, yogurt and cereal.
Not only will your pledge be a positive step for YOU, but you’ll also impact a girl in need. For every I<3BKFST pledge, General Mills will donate $0.25 to Grace House, a foster home for girls in Birmingham, up to $10,000, with a minimum pledge of $5,000. The money will be used to help Grace House purchase groceries for the girls’ breakfast.
After you pledge you will have access to fun downloads!
