HERSHEY'S BETTER BASKET BLOG HOP

Hershey’s Better Basket Blog Hop

I pinched this Hershey's Better Basket Blog Hop from Wendy at Wendy's Minding Spot since she offered and I wanted to do my little bit for the little tots over at CMN... it doesn't cost me anything to give Hershey a free advertising and hopefully it gives those kids that just little bit of an edge at life...

This is what it is...
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 season, Hershey is celebrating it’s new Easter products sold exclusively at Walmart and their legacy of making a difference and Hershey’s will donate $7,000 to the Children’s Miracle Network.

Better Basket Blog Hop started as a charity blog meme, bloggers were able to raise $10 by writing a blog post of donating a virtual Easter Basket. The Hershey Company promised to donate $10 per each post written for the Children’s Miracle Network, up to $5,000. Within the first week, over 200 bloggers participated, and soon it was 400 bloggers, and The Hershey Company was so impressed by the kindness and caring of the hundreds of bloggers participating that they decided to donate $7,000 in honor of all the caring bloggers who are part of spreading the word of paying it forward this Easter season.
