Comment # 27 Kristie G. was the winner. A huge thanks to everyone who entered and visited the site.

I am so excited!!! I have joined up with the Tennessee Aquarium to offer one lucky winner 2 FREE tickets. I love my hometown and I love the Tennessee Aquarium and I am sure you will too!

Families will have fun learning about the Aquarium’s generations because 2012 was an exceptional year for significant animal births. While aviculturists were busy caring for five penguin chicks, our herpetologists literally had their hands full rearing baby turtles from threatened or endangered species.

I recently posted about Child Hunger Ends Here this is a cause that is close to my heart and in effort to get the word out I have teamed up with ConAgra to offer you a giveaway.

These statistics are from Feeding America are shocking:

  • More than 1 in 5 children in the U.S. don’t know where their next meal is coming from
  • More than 16 million children in the U.S. face hunger
  • The face of child hunger is different than you might think. It’s not just starving or homeless children. Often, it’s a one- or two-income family that has suffered from the poor economy and have depleted their savings
  • Learn more about the face of hunger by visiting the Feeding America interactive map and see that statistics for your state and county

How you can help: 

  • Enter codes from participating ConAgra Foods products at www.ChildHungerEndsHere.com, and remind your friends and family  to do the same
  • For each code entered ConAgra will donate 1 meal
  • Once you enter a code at www.ChildHungerEndsHere.com, you will get access to the “Here’s Hope” song by Jewel, Jay Sean or Owl City, plus exclusive, behind-the-scenes content
