A Holiday “Cheer-io” Giveaway

by 148 Comments

Happy Monday everyone!  This giveaway is one that really touched my heart and I am truly honored to be participating in such a great cause.  Everyone can use a little pick me up now and then. But for the millions of military families manning the fort at home while their loved ones are away serving, a gesture of Cheer is especially welcome.

When our troops are called to serve, their families must rise to meet the challenges of service as well. To thank them, and the USO have partnered in a postcard campaign that spreads Cheer directly to these honorable military families and supports USO programs. Here´s how it works:

  • During the 2011 holiday season, specially-marked boxes of Cheerios cereal will feature Cheer postcards on the front of the box. Consumers can simply cut out the postcard from the Cheerios logo, write a message of thanks on the back, add a stamp and mail the pre-addressed card to the USO. The USO will deliver the Cheer card to military families across the country.
  • For each postcard received through November 2012, Cheerios will make a $1 donation to the USO to help fund programs that support military families.
  • To kick off the campaign, Cheerios has already donated $150,000 to the USO and will donate up to an additional $100,000 based upon the number of postcards received from specially marked boxes now through November 30th, 2012.

Sending a "Cheer" postcard is a simple way to say thanks and lift the spirits of our country´s military families.

The folks over at Cheerios sent me some cheer to pass along and now they are giving one lucky reader the same chance. 

It doesn’t hurt that Cheerios is definitely a Weight Watcher Friendly whole grain product clocking in at only 3 points+ a serving for ALL their cereals!

    Plain old regular Cheerios were my FAVORITE cereal as a kind (none of that sugary stuff for me!) and still are to this day. Mmmmmmmmm! What a great thing Cheerios is doing! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂

    My favorite Cherrios combo is the good old fashioned [anything but plain!] Cheerios topped with sliced bananas and strawberries, with a touch of Silk Light Vanilla soymilk 😀

    I’ve tried the Banana Nut Cheerios too- topped with fresly sliced bananas and a little milk, it tastes just like a banana bread bowl!

    I don’t have a blog, but I’m a first grade teacher. I love this idea that Cherios is doing to help support our soldiers. I can def. tell all the teachers that I work with. You know how teachers love to talk and love free stuff, haha.

    What a great thing to do! I for one don’t actually eat a lot of Cheerios. Growing up we never had breakfast cereal so I was never really introduced to it! I have tried a few flavors here and there though and I guess I’d have to say honey nut is my favorite!

    My personal favorite is honey nut cheerios with bananas! Kudos to Cheerios for doing this, and as a member of the Air Force I love to see people recognizing our military, we do amazing things throughout our military and it’s nice to be appreciated. Thanks Cheerios!

    I LOVE multi-grain cheerios. I eat them every morning 🙂 I’m planning on joining weight Watchers after the holidays–I recently had twins in May and need to start losing that baby weight plus some, but I am waiting until after the holidays…I want to indulge myself just one more time

    I *LOVE* Multi Grain Cheerios! Topped w/ fresh fruit & almond milk is the best way IMO to enjoy a bowl. I also love crunching on them dry as a snack. Thanks Cheerios!

    My favorite Cheerios is Multi-Grain. Then plain Cheerios. I carry them in a baggie to work so I can snack when I need a pick-me-up.
    No muss and No fuss.

    I failed to tell you my favorite Ceerios, which is difficult because I like them all! I think that original plain and honey nut are probably tied for first in my world!

    My husband and I have been married 36 years. His favorite cereal is Cheerios, always has been, and always will be. He’s continually said, “Why change, when you’ve already found the best!” Hopefully, I hold the same status as his Cheerios!

    I love regular plain Cherrios. My 3 year old eats them like they were a fine chocolate! We eat tons of Cherrioes around my house.

    I love classic Cheerios, especially with banana slices. Or if I’m feeling snacky, covered with hot melted butter. Better than popcorn. 🙂

    I love the whole grain cheerios loaded with fruit on top! I’m not only an Army brat, but also a veteran; so wanted to give you a GREAT BIG THANKS for doing this! Our cabinets are full of Cheerios right now, so I’d better pay attention to the fronts, huh? lol!

    I think is a GREATm idea and I have told all my friends and co workers about this. I am not going to enter to win the GREAT givaway only in hopes that whom ever it goes to it can be donated to a great kid to one of our soldier’s that is still away fighting to keep us safe. Bless everyone who has a loved one that is being effected.

    My favorite is Honey Nut Cheerios, but Chocolate Cheerios (with dried cranberries and almonds) are high on my favorites list too.

    I like the banana cheerios best. They’re a great snack, and I usually have a small baggie of them in my purse. 🙂

    I like classic Cheerios with bananas and milk. My mother-in-law likes to snack on classic Cheerios after she has sauteed them in butter. Not lo-cal but quite tasty.
