“Go To Bat” $100 Sports Authority Giveaway!

Posted by Clever Dude | July 30, 2010 .

state farm go to batWell I haven’t done a giveaway in quite some time, so I figured I’d start with this one from State Farm and Sports Authority!

We’re going to give away Two $50 gift cards to Sports Authority!

State Farm has teamed up with MLB to give people a chance to attend the 2010 World Series, while at the same time making a difference for their favorite charity by “going to bat” for them.

All you have to do is visit www.statefarm.com/gotobat, play the online Home Run Derby game for the charity you’d like to “go to bat” for and once a week, for ten weeks, State Farm will select a winner and their charity. The winner’s charity will receive a weekly donation ($100 for every home run hit that week in MLB) and the winner themselves will receive a trip for two to the 2010 World Series!

This “Go to Bat” program is void in Quebec & where prohibited. Participants must be a legal resident of the U.S. or Canadian provinces of Alberta, New Brunswick or Ontario, and must be 18+ at time of entry.

So to help spread the word for them, we were given TWO $50 gift cards to give out to our readers! (You’re very lucky too, I don’t get anything myself :) )

You have 3 options to win one of these $50 cards:

  1. Follow our RSS feed and stay in the loop!
  2. Or, if you’re a tweeter, tweet: “State Farm Go To Bat: Support the charity of ur choice & u could win a Trip for 2 to World Series! http://tinyurl.com/25hxwku”. (Just let me know that you did this in the comments for tracking reasons)
  3. Or, tell us in the comments what you’d buy with this $50 if you won!

I will be using Random.org to choose the 2 winners next Monday, August 9th, so make sure you’re entered by that Sunday @ Midnight.  Good luck everyone!
