MADISON, Wis., Aug. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Lunchables Lunch Combinations team is challenging America to
help all kids have the opportunity to "Never Be Bored Again."
Today, the brand partnered with actress and celebrity mom,
Tori Spelling, to launch a national campaign that will fund up to
$100,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of
America and their sport and recreation programs.
Spelling and the Lunchables team invite families to
capture photos of boredom-busting activities and share them by
visiting the "Never Be Bored Again" application at
Facebook.com/Lunchables. Every photo that's uploaded from
today through October 15, 2012, will
generate a $1 donation to Boys &
Girls Clubs across America, up to $100,000, to help amp up the fun. After
uploading their photo, consumers will receive a $1-off coupon for new Lunchables with
Smoothie, while supplies last.
To kick off the effort, Spelling uploaded her own "Never Be
Bored Again" photo, showing her crafting with daughter Stella.
Today, she joins the Lunchables team and kids from the Boys
& Girls Club of Burbank and Greater East Valley, Calif., to
build a Sport Court®, in the club's backyard.
Working alongside Boys & Girls Club kids, she will install new
basketball hoops and foursquare grids, plus other equipment made
from Lunchables Lunch Combinations packaging recycled by
TerraCycle®.
"Encouraging my kids to make their own fun is one of the best
parts of being a parent," said Spelling, a mother of four, who's
adept at finding creative ways to bust kid boredom. "That's why I'm
thrilled to work with the Lunchables team to spark kids'
curiosity and help amp up the fun."
A Chance to Win One of Over One Million Prizes
The Lunchables team wants all kids to share in
Lunchables-style freestyle fun, and have the opportunity to
"Never Be Bored Again." Now through February 2013, kids ages six to 13 can enter the
"Never Be Bored Again" Instant Win Game* at Lunchables.com/fun for
a chance to win one of over ONE
MILLION boredom-busting prizes.
The three grand prizes are mega-cool hangout spots including a

or an Ultimate Game Room. Other prizes include 25,000 Hasbro™ toys
and games and 1,000,000 video downloads.
