School The Nation; P&G Campaign With Communities In Schools Matthew McConaughey about the National Dropout Crisis and Advocate Mentorship as a Smart Approach to Combat the Issue.
Primary Campaign Talking Points
- GIVE Education raises awareness of America’s dropout crisis and provides at-risk youth with the support and encouragement they need to stay in school and prepare for life.
- By working with consumers to fund the life-changing work of mentors across the country, P&G can give back to the communities and enable kids to succeed in life.
- The role of a mentor is a critically important ingredient for a lifetime of success.
- With 1.2 million students dropping out of school each year, it takes people, not programs, to guide students on the path to success.
- HOW YOU CAN HELP — By simply buying $25 worth of select P&G products, P&G will provide consumers with a $5 rebate and make a $5 donation to Communities In Schools, the nation’s leading dropout prevention organization.
- Go to www.getgivesave.com for rebate details.
- For each August 26 P&G brandSAVER coupon redeemed, P&G will donate two cents to CIS – allowing consumers to give back, while saving money. This is an uncapped donation.
- For every person that “likes” the GIVE Facebook page, a $1 donation will be made to Communities In Schools (up through $10,000).
