Avery Dennison's Give Back to Schools Contest Awards Fifteen Schools
The online contest is a part of the Avery Dennison Give Back to Schools program, which was created in celebration of the company's 75th anniversary as a way to give back to the communities that have made the company's success possible. Students, teachers, families and supporters (ages 18 and older and excluding Avery Dennison employees) voted online for their local K-8 school between mid-June and Sept. 5, 2010 in an effort to garner the most votes and ultimately be rewarded with a generous donation from Avery Dennison. Initially, Avery Dennison was planning to donate to the top 10 vote-getting schools, but after seeing the overwhelming response to the program from school supporters, Avery Dennison decided to expand donations to the top 15 schools, awarding nearly 700 lbs. of school supplies to each.
