Yes, it's another iPad giveaway for kids with special needs! The iPad and speech app have been game-changers for Max: They've enabled him to quickly and easily share what's on his mind, whether he's asking for chocolate ice-cream, telling someone how much he loves chocolate ice-cream, or requesting a chocolate-ice-cream birthday cake. (See a pattern here?) Every day, I'm grateful for them. And chocolate ice-cream.
CVS Caremark All Kids Can is all about enabling kids; I've been working with them for two years now, and they know just how enabling iPads are for kids with special needs. And so, they've offered to give one away. All together now: woo hoo!
The winner will receive:
• One iPad 2 16GB with Wi-Fi + 3G in your choice of black or white (valued at $529).
• One iPad Smart Cover in a color of your child's choice, based on available colors ($29).
To enter to win an iPad 2, leave a comment below about how you believe an iPad could benefit your child. No need to get into detail, just share what you want.
Each winner will be asked to provide a letter of need from a speech therapist or doctor in their child's life. The letter from the therapist or doctor must include her qualifications and contact information so that he or she can be called to verify that, indeed, the recipient is a child who will benefit from an iPad 2 and speech app.
This giveaway is open until Sunday, December, 2, 2012 at 11:59 ET. It is open to U.S. and Canadian residents 18 and older.
RULES OF ENTRY
• Valid email address required. I need it so I can reach you if you win. So if your email is not visible on your blog, you will need to leave it with your comment. If there is no email, your entry is disqualified.
• One entry per family, please.
• No entries accepted past the deadline.
WINNER DETERMINATION
• I will choose the winner via the website random.org within 24 hours after the giveaway is closed, and this post will be updated to include screenshots from random.org of the winning comment. I will email the winner at that time.
• If I do not hear back from the winner within five days, another winner will be chosen.
• If a winner does not produce a letter from their child's speech therapist or doctor within two weeks of being informed of the win, another winner will be selected.
GETTING THE IPAD/SMART COVER
• Each winner's iPad 2 and Smart Cover will be ordered within two business days after I confirm information with the child's therapist or doctor. The iPad 2 and Smart Cover will be shipped directly to the winner. The arrival dates will be based on Apple's estimated arrival time.
FYI, the IRS requires that you report winnings from sweepstakes.
Good luck!
