Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs Movie Bucket #giveaway

by 997 Comments

“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” is currently in movie theatres and ready to be watched. It was created by Burger King and Sony Pictures. As part of the promotion, BK is supporting Feeding America, the film’s charitable partner, by promoting awareness of Feeding America’s childhood hunger initiatives and philanthropic empowerment in kids. Go BK!  We love Feeding America at Mom Start.

9-14-2009 10-30-07 AM BK’s newly revamped kids’ site, www.clubbk.com, offers kids the opportunity to become “Hunger Helpers” and rally behind the charitable organization, via a movie-themed online game where they can earn “Crowns” (the virtual currency for Club BK) and then donate them to show support for the Feeding America cause. They can also access more information about the charity and get tips on how to support local food banks all at ClubBk.com

 

Kids have donated more than 1 million Crowns in charitable shows of support to Feeding America only after seven days. They have just surpassed the community’s goal! How excited but the fun isn’t over. Children are still asked to go on and make contributions.

· To celebrate Club BK’s efforts toward philanthropic empowerment to kids and as a valued partner to both Feeding America and Burger King Corp., Kraft Foods is supporting Hunger Action Month with a $25,000 donation to Feeding America.

And now for the prize:

My children are helping me to show you what you will win with this promotion. BK has a movie promotion bucket to share with one lucky reader.

The bucket contains:

· $20 BK Crown Card to grab a bite to eat before or after the movie

· $40 movie gift card to see the film

· Full set of Club BK Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs kids toys

· Club BK’s Adventures newsletter

· Original Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs book

 

The full set of toys got my children and I through this afternoon. I wasn’t feeling very well so I opened all the packages and let them play with it. We also looked through the book. Not as many pictures as I was hoping for but my kids like listening to words.

To Enter:

Visit Club BK and tell me what you think of the children’s involvement in charity.

    The one thing my children love to do is put money in the red bucket at christmastime. No matter how many stores we go I always take some coins out of my purse before leaving my car so that my girls can have some to give when we get there.

  142. main entry: I think the program is wonderful and postive influences should be taught early in a loving way so kids can know how to reach out to all others and know how to sew seeds of kindness in many ways so they can pay it forward.

  192. I think that it is very important to teach children to give of themselves. To let them see that there are others that are less fortunate and that giving not only finacially of yourself, but also giving your time is so important.
    We do help out at charities and encourage our kids to do the same. This program is really a wonderful program.
    Thank you so much for offering this great giveaway.

  206. Children should know about the world around them; they should know that not everyone has the advantages they do, and that we are morally obligated to help. Thanks!

    Reply

  209. I like that the children actually have to do something(even if it is to play) to earn the right to contribute and help the hungry. I also like BKs and Karft’s committment to this cause-it is a win/win for everyone.

    Reply

  210. People are becoming more self-centered and it is a great thing to teach children the importance of charity and to learn about other’s needs. I great idea.

    Reply

  213. Children need to learn that there are other children less fortunate and ways in which they can help provide food, shelter, water, etc. for those in need. Children are never too young to learn how to share their blessings with others in need.

    Reply

  214. i love that they are doing this – i make sure my son knows that it is important to help others who have less than him – when he gets a new toy, he donates an old one to someone who doesn’t have toys

  234. I think it’s awesome that BK took the time do something quite easy but for something that means so much; what a great way for children to facilitate donations to great charity. Truly awesome work, BK. Thanks for the giveaway!

  238. I think it is great they are donating money to Feed America. Too many charities give money to groups outside the US and it is nice to see one giving money to our country as there is a need here too.

    Reply

  241. i think its great for kids to learn about helping the less fortunate. Kids can be selfish at times and bk did a great thing by teaching kids to gove back(maybe someday they’ll get it in return)

  242. I think it’s great to get children involved in charities because it gets them to appreciate what they have even more. Thanks for the chance.

  248. So I found the kids can help Feeding America. I think:
    (1) Parents need to make their children more award of the nation’s problem (such as hunger).
    (2) Parents should help their children make changes to help causes (such as hunger).
    (3) I believe BK is going their part to help kids become socially responsible.

  260. It’s good for kids to learn at a young age about helping others. That way it’s something they’re used to as they grow up and don’t think twice about helping with projects to help others.

    Reply

  261. It is good that a well recognized company like Burger King is actively showing kids how important helping and community service is because it’s something that should be encouraged from a very early age.
    Thanks!

  278. I think it’s good for kids to help out those less fortunate. It not only makes them feel good about helping someone in need, but it makes them appreciate the things they have.

    Reply

  282. I like the idea of children participating in charity. I have taken my nieces with me to help out with Second Harvest food bank (ages 15 and 11). They enjoyed themselves and it helped them to realize how fortunate they are.

    Reply

  289. It’s valuable for children to learn that helping others is important. The earlier the better. This is a good way to reinforce that.

  328. I think it’s very important… Seems all my kids think they have it sooo bad… it’s a real eye-opener when they realize that they can actually do something for someone who has it worse…

    Reply

  331. i think its great for kids to realize that this life isnt all about themselves and there are people out there that need out help – what a great program to teach kids about giving

  359. it’s great for kids to get involved. As long as you choose a good organization with adult supervision, it can be a great experience for the kids.

    Reply

  361. I absolutely love that BK is donating so much money to help feed families in need.
    We help out a local group when we are able.
    I don’t think that a lot of people realize just how much hunger happens right in our own communities.
    That it is not just homeless people that are in need of food-it may be your next door neighbor whose had a bout of bad luck.
    Give to your local food bank-let’s help each other out!!
    My kids loved the site, too-especially the Cloudy w/Meatballs game;)
    Thank you!

  365. I believe it is really important to teach children about the less fortunate. We need to show them that it might not take that much in life to get someone like that. I always tell my kids that I don’t want them ever saying anything about people who have less because no one knows their circumstance and it’s really nice when people help them out.

    Reply

  389. i think its great that BK is doing this. Children need to be aware of other peoples needs at a young age to make them more compassionate people as they grow up .

    Reply

  390. Burger King and other similar fast food restaurants make a pretty good profit in great part from kids so it is great to give back

    Reply

  397. I think it’s great…the trend seems to be consumerism, and it’s important to get kids started young in helping others less fortunate

    Reply

  398. I think it is great to educate children about charities and helping others. And I think it’s great that children have a chance to lend a hand in helping others.

  414. I believe that all of us has a responsibility to give back to our communities. Teaching kids that even they can make a positive difference is so important.

  436. I think it’s amazing to get kids involved so young. It makes a difference not only to the people they are helping but also how they feel about themselves. I would love to win this we are so broke, we never get a chance to eat out and can’t even remember the last movie I took my daughter to see. She’s been wanting to see this so bad, if we won it would make her so very happy. Thanks for the chance!

  442. I think kids learn by example. BK gives them an opportunity to do something good so they can get involved in doing charity work at an early age.

    Reply

  444. getting this information in front of people at an early age will lead to a lifetime of volunteer work (hopefully). what we learn as children tends to stick with us thru adulthood! this is a positive thing to cling too!

    Reply

  473. I think it’s great. Children should learn early that there are plenty of people less fortunate than they are, and I think that helping other people makes them feel better about themselves.

  498. I think it’s a good way for parents to talk to their kids about making the world a better place. Thanks for the contest.

  500. Feeding America is a great organization and definitely fits in Burger King’s image. Playing games is a great way to get kids involved, and make them aware of others who need help. Kids are never too young to get involved with helping others!

    Reply

  519. I think it’s definitely important to teach my child about charity. My daughter and I have discussions about poverty and lack of things she takes for granted. And we make time to go through our household thiangs regularly and give away things.

    Reply

  530. wonderful and important for kids to do this. They need to learn young because it is an ongoing lifetime lesson and amazing ‘habit’ to be caring and giving…thanks

    Reply

  551. I think it’s important to teach children from a young age to help and serve others, hopefully making it a lasting life lesson. (Did anyone else notice the teensy tiny banner that reads “Hey kids, this is advertising”? That got a chuckle out of me.)

    Reply

  558. My kids are a little too young to understand the idea of charity yet (is 1 too young?), but I love the idea. As soon as they are older, I plan on giving them the chance to help put together gift baskets for charity, place the donations in the bins when we donate, and certainly teach them how lucky they are to be so privileged.

    Reply

  567. Charity is great at any age. The High School I teach at makes the students get 100 hours of community service to graduate. I think it is a wonderful thing. Children need to learn to help others.
