Cash For Schools 2009
Hand in tokens to your local school NOW!
Don’t let your local school miss the chance to win a share of £25,000 prize fund
Cash For Schools is a simple 'token collect' scheme, with special tokens printed in the Maidenhead, Windsor and Twyford Advertiser for 10 weeks. The last token was printed on March 26, 2009.
Each participating school aims to collect as many tokens as possible from the Advertiser to give them the best chance of winning either the top prize of £5,000 or one of two runner-up prizes of £3,000 and £2,000, which will be allocated based on the highest number of tokens collected per pupil.
On top of this, each participating school which collects the equivalent of two tokens per pupil will also receive a share of the remaining £15,000 prize fund in proportion to the number of tokens they collect.
The £25,000 prize money is being given away by the Louis Baylis (Maidenhead Advertiser) Charitable Trust, which owns the Advertiser.
Each school can use money raised for any capital expenditure the school wants – new computers, sports equipment, books or put towards a bigger long-term project. The choice is theirs.
Participating schools have until Friday, April 24 to send their tokens into the Advertiser.
