Boys & Girls Club - BGCA Give the Gift of #GreatFutures

I participated in this campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Boy and Girls Club of America. I received a promotional item as a thank-you for participating. 

The Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA) is an organization that's all about giving. This time of year they're inspiring us to connect with the true spirit of giving with their 3rd annual Give the Gift of Great Futures website.

Visit the site today and vote in the Kids Give Back Contest, which showcases BGCA kids giving back in their own communities. You can also create holiday gift tags with the Gift Tag Generator and pick up a few tips on how you can inspire your own children to give back in your community too!

BGCA has been a valuable resource in the lives of my daughter and nephew. They so enjoyed the summers that they spent at the club, going on field trips, doing crafts, and making new friends. The experience influenced them so much that my daughter went on to volunteer at our local Boys & Girls club and my nephew is now a BGCA employee!

Check out your local BGCA club website to find new and exciting ways to volunteer and connect in your community too! Click here to find a club near you.

J&J Donate a Photo App - #SelflessSelfie ~ Promotion & Giveaway #Sponsored

The age of technology has ushered in a new kind of vanity. Everyday people have become the "paparazzi," but the most popular photo opps are not pictures of other people, but pictures of themselves!

The Johnson and Johnson Donate a Photo app is turning "selfies" into a "selfless"act!  With the Selfless Selfies campaign you can take a picture of yourself, upload it to the app, and support charity all at the same time. That's genius! 

Johnson & Johnson has curated a list of trusted causes, and you can donate a photo to one cause, once a day. Each cause will appear in the app until it reaches its goal or the donation period ends. If the goal isn't reached, the cause will get a minimum donation.

Here are the charities that the app currently supports:

• PFLAG - One pic helps protect a child from bullying
• Girl Up - One pic helps to send a girl in Liberia back to school.
• Safe Kids Mexico - One pic helps a child in Mexico arrive to school safely.

You can change the world by taking your own picture (which you're going to do anyway), imagine that!

I really want your help spreading the word and making shift happen... are you with me?

Need more incentive??? Well you're in luck because I'm giving away a prize pack!

One lucky winner will receive a Healthy Essentials prize pack ($60 retail value), which includes awesome stuff from the following brands:

* BAND-AID

* Clean & Clear

* Neosporin

* Neutragena

* Vasaline

Are you camera ready now?

Mandatory Entry: Download the Donate a Photo on iTunes and Google Play. Leave a comment below confirming that you've downloaded the app (be honest kids, a link would be nice, but not required). Be sure to include your name and email address.
