In celebration of the sixth anniversary of the Spoonfuls of Stories® program, Cheerios® will be distributing 100,000 children’s books by John Lithgow to programs serving children in need across the country.

YOU can help decide where the books will be donated by answering trivia questions from now through Sunday, June 15, 2008. Every correct answer counts as one vote, so the more questions you answer correctly, the more votes you cast. Cheerios will donate 20,000 children’s books to programs in each of the five states that receive the most votes.

Cheerios’ nonprofit partner First Book will be identifying programs that will receive the books in each state where the books will be donated.  To be eligible to receive books from this special donation:

• Programs must be registered with First Book (http://register.firstbook.org).
• At least 80% of the children the programs serve must be from low-income families.  

Please note: This challenge will benefit local community and nonprofit programs serving low-income families. Schools, school-based programs, and PTA programs are not eligible to receive books through this particular challenge. If you are a school, school-based group, or related program, please visit http://register.firstbook.org to register to receive updates about future First Book distributions.
