Bob’s Discount Furniture, through its Bob’s Outreach program, today announced that it will award $45,000 in cultural grants to deserving schools across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states through its seventh annual Celebrate the Arts contest – designed to support and maintain dance, music and the arts in schools. Bob’s Outreach is accepting contest entries from Aug. 13 through Sept. 10, and will select nine schools to win $5,000 grants to support cultural arts programs during the 2012-13 school year.
Each year, Bob’s Outreach receives thousands of submissions and randomly selects one K-12 school in each of the nine states (Conn., Maine, Mass., Md., N.H., N.J., N.Y., R.I. and Va.) where Bob’s Discount Furniture stores are located. Following the schools’ selection, the Bob’s Outreach Team visits each winning school to award the grant and visit with students and faculty.
Beginning Aug. 13, applicants can enter the contest by filling out a form with their personal contact information, as well as their school’s information. Entry forms can be found online at Celebrate the Arts and no purchase is necessary. All entries must be submitted by Sept. 10.
