Contest Corner Awarding Kids Who Give (NAPSA)—Young people across America are making a positive impact in their communities by volunteering. Fortunately, giving back doesn’t always haveto beits own reward. Winnersof the annual Kids Who Give contest, sponsored by Farm Rich, will each get a donation of up to $2,500 to their causes, a personal gift card and a prize pack valued at around $300. Grand-prize winners, with a parent or guardian, will also get an all-expenses-paid trip to the awards dinner in New York City. The contest is open to U.S. residents ages 7 to 17 and you can enter it at www. kidswhogive.com. Many kids—such as Katie Stagliano, who fights hunger by creating vegetable gardens and donating more than 3,500 pounds of harvest to people in need— want to spread happiness and help others. The contest was created by Farm Rich, the frozen snacks and appetizers brand, to recognize and celebrate outstanding young people who go above and beyond to volunteer in their communities in an effort to make a difference and to educate other interested kids on how to start giving back. Entries will be accepted March 1 to May 31, 2011.
