Tips on Tuesday: Pay it Forward with Virtual Easter Baskets

Hershey has partnered with the Children’s Miracle Network for over 20 years. CMN is a non-profit alliance of children’s hospitals dedicated to providing state-of-the-art care, life-saving research and preventative education across North America.

This Easter, Hershey’s will donate up to a total of $5,000 to the Children’s Miracle Network together with bloggers.

How can we do this together? It’s simple:

•Hershey Company will donate $10 per each blog post to CMN, up to total of $5,000.
•One blog post per URL counts towards the donation, but you can give as many virtual Easter baskets as you want.
•The Hershey’s Better Basket Blog Hop will officially begin at 12 AM EST on March 18th and end at 12 PM EST on April 4th, 2010. Blog posts submitted to us before or after that time period will not be counted for.

I just found out about this yesterday so I'm joining late in the game and I apologize for the short notice to my giftees. I hope that Cheryl St. John, Keesler Chaos, I am Pooped and Beauty From Ashes all enjoy a virtual Easter Basket that's easy on the waistline.

You can join too! Even if no one gives you a virtual Easter basket-you can still write a blog post, link it up and pay it forward! (This morning there are just over 400 blogs listed so we still have time to pay it forward by blogging.)
