Write to Win as Dollar General's Every Day Heroes Program Honors Schools and Teachers {Procter & Gamble Prize Pack Giveaway}

When you hear the word Hero, what (or who) do you think of? Members of our military who fight for our country's freedom? Someone you know who has battled an illness? Or simply a friend who has been there for you through thick and thin?

No matter what your personal definition consists of, Dollar General's Every Day Heroes program has been honoring community heroes all throughout the year. From firemen to veterans to caregivers, this campaign has put the spotlight on groups of people that deserve plenty of thanks and recognition.

Considering how important they are to our lives, I couldn't have been happier to hear that throughout the month of September, Dollar General has teamed up with Procter & Gamble to celebrate schools and honor those that are near and dear to us right now: teachers.

While we all appreciate the importance of the schools in our communities, Dollar General has taken things further and is offering the opportunity show support by winning money for your school through its Write to Win Essay Contest.

The process is simple! Entrants (ages 21+) just visit the contest website to submit a brief essay about why their school deserves to win. Judges will select the three winning essays and the schools mentioned in those essays will win $10,000 each!

At the same time, you can enter to win a prize for yourself, as your purchase of participating P&G products or Back to School Supplies just might win you a $500 gift card!

So, what makes your child's school special? Or his/her teacher a hero? Let Dollar General know and you might end up doing more than simply making them proud — you might win them a cash prize that they'll gladly put to use! But hurry, this contest ends on September 23rd, so don't miss your opportunity to show just how much your school means to you.

Thanks to the generosity of Procter & Gamble, one person will get to enjoy a sampling of products that help with school and every day life, because...

One lucky person will win a Dollar General P&G Prize Pack*!
