Announcing the
2012 Lots2Give Program
At Big Lots, we are committed to programs that enhance the quality of education at schools in need of financial support in the communities we serve. For the fifth year in a row, the Lots2Give program continues this mission.
Selected schools will be given the opportunity to put their creativity to the test by entering an online video contest. Videos will be posted online from June 11 through July 8, 2012 for public voting. Winning schools will share $120,000 in cash prizes, which include thirty $2,000 third place prizes, four $5,000 second place prizes, two $10,000 first place prizes and one $20,000 grand prize! Your votes will determine the winners!
Selected schools will also be the recipients of an in-store donation program. You can help by donating $1 or $5 at participating Big Lots stores beginning April 30 and continuing through July 8, 2012. 100% of your donations will go to participating schools.
Together, we can make a difference!

Selected schools were asked to submit a short video and brief essay explaining why their school is in need of financial support. Then we turned to the public to vote for their favorite video and those votes determined the winners.
