The Children’s Place Messenger Bag Give Away
April 7, 2009
****CONTEST HAS ENDED - CONGRATS TO MRS. MOMMY, JILL L. AND STEVE SCOTT!****
Alright everyone, this is really exciting.
The Children’s Place has teamed up with the Books For Kids Foundation as well as lots of celebrities to bring you hand designed bags with kids in mind.
(We have 3 of The Children’s Place messenger bags to give away, more info below)
As the 2009 Kids’ Choice Awards were taking place, celebrities flocked backstage to The Children’s Place lounge where they spent time decorating their own The Children’s Place messenger bags at custom craft stations to be auctioned off to benefit the Books for Kids Foundation.
These super cool celebrity-designed messenger bags will be auctioned April 14-24th on eBay with all proceeds going toward fostering literacy through the Books For Kids, a foundation created to promote literacy among all children with a special emphasis on low-income and at-risk preschool- aged children. They create libraries, donate books, and partner with literacy programs to develop the critical early foundation and skills which young children need to be successful in life.
Some of the celebs that designed bags for this great cause are: Alexander Ludwig, Anna Sophia Robb, B2K, Chace Crawford, Cobie Smulders, David Archuleta, Debra Messing, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Honor Society, Hosts of “Dancing with the Stars, Ivanka Trump, Jason Segel, Jeanette McCurdy, Jerry Trainor, Katrina Bowden, Kim Kardashian, Maggie Grace, Michael Rosenbaum, Neil Patrick Harris, Paula Abdul, Phil Collen, Shayleen Woodley, Slash, Sophia Bush, Taylor Lautner, The Clique Girlz, Tina Fey and Tony Hawk.
The auction begins on April 14-24. This is your chance to get a one-of-a-kind bag and support a great cause!
CLICK HERE to find out more and or/donate to the Books For Kids Foundation. That is also where the auction will take place once it begins, so be sure to go back and try for the bag of your favorite celeb!
I am so excited to say that we have 3 of The Children’s Place messenger bags to give away. I have one and it is great! It’s my new laptop bag. It has plenty of room and lots of pockets for whatever you need to bring along with you 
All you to do to enter is leave a comment on this post. Be sure to leave a valid email address in the proper spot so I can contact you if your one of the 3 winners. Once contacted, if you do not reply within 3 days you will forfeit your prize and another winner will be selected.
Contest ends Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 9:00 pm EST.
Good Luck!!
UPDATE: To clear things up a bit, your bag will not be decorated and you will be able to decorate it yourself or leave it as is
