FAMILY CONNECTION TIME CHALLENGE

This challenge starts Friday, 5/22 and goes through Monday 5/25.
It is super EASY to enter and you could WIN A GREAT PRIZE FOR YOUR FAMILY!

TWO SIMPLE STEPS:
Step 1.
SNAP A PIC OF YOUR FAMILY DOING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Playing a Board Game TOGETHER.
2. Picnic-ing TOGETHER. (indoor or outdoor)
3. Volunteering TOGETHER.
4. Playing Outside TOGETHER.
5. Baking/Cooking TOGETHER.
6. Doing something special  for MEMORIAL DAY TOGETHER!

Step 2.
Post your PIC on This Side UP! Family’s Facebook page or email it to info@thissideupfamily.org  BY MIDNIGHT ON MONDAY, 5/25.

WHY??!!!
1.YOU COULD WIN.  All entries will be submitted for a Family FUNnection basket valued at $50  (movie tickets, pizza gift card, board game, and more)!
2.THE BIG WHY.  Because Family Time is so important and has been proven to be a key indicator of a child’s success and well-being.   Children who are positively connected to their family relationships are less likely to make poor choices and more likely to become confident, content community participants as they grow up! That relationship building starts NOW, no matter the age of your child! It’s never too early and it’s never too late to focus on family connection!  And the results are trajectory-changing, for family and community strengthening!

Thank you for participating in this purposeful challenge to increase FAMILY TIME in your home and our community!!

Round Logo“MY FAMILY IS EGGS-ELLENT!”
FAMILY TIME CHALLENGE

In honor of Easter weekend AND, most of all, to inspire family connection and a unified belief in your own family’s EGGS-ellentness, we created the …

“My Family is EGGS-ELLENT!”
Easter Weekend Family Time Challenge.

This challenge starts Friday, 3/25 and goes through Sunday, 3/27.
It is super EASY to enter and you could WIN A GREAT PRIZE FOR YOUR FAMILY!

THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Step 1. SUBMIT A FAMILY PIC with a visible egg in it!
(Egg can soft or hard-boiled, white or decorated, whatever you prefer! Before you snap the pic, read Step 2 below.)

Step 2. PHOTO SHOULD INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE ADULT AND ONE KID AND SHOULD SHOW YOUR FAMILY DOING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Playing a Board Game TOGETHER.
2. Picnic-ing TOGETHER. (indoor or outdoor)
3. Volunteering TOGETHER.
4. Playing or Hanging out TOGETHER.
5. Cooking or Eating TOGETHER.

Step 3. Post your PIC on This Side UP! Family’s FB page or email it to info@thissideupfamily.org  BY MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY, 3/27.

WHY??!!!
1.YOU COULD WIN. All entries will be submitted for a Family FUNnection basket w/movie tickets, board game, and more!
2.THE BIG WHY. Because Family Time is EGGS-ellent (Awesome) and has also been proven to be a key indicator of a child’s success and well-being. Children who are positively connected to their family relationships are less likely to make poor choices and more likely to become confident, content community participants as they grow up! That relationship building starts NOW, no matter the age of your child! It’s never too early and it’s never too late to focus on family connection! The results are trajectory-changing, for family and community strengthening!

Oct 21 @ 8:00 am – Oct 24 @ 12:00 am

PUMPKIN ART FAMILY TIME CHALLENGE (at-home!)

pumpkins
To inspire family connection and a unified belief in your own family’s awesomeness , we created the PUMPKIN ART Family Time Challenge.

This challenge starts Friday, 10/21 and goes through Sunday, 10/23.  It is super EASY to enter and you could WIN A GREAT PRIZE FOR YOUR FAMILY! (You can complete the challenge anytime, as long as you submit the picture by 10/23!)

THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Step 1. SUBMIT A FAMILY PIC with your own version of PUMPKIN ART in it!  Before you snap the pic, read Step 2 below.

Step 2. PHOTO SHOULD INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE ADULT AND ONE KID AND SHOULD SHOW YOUR FAMILY’S PUMPKIN ART CREATION.  This can be in the form of a decorated pumpkin, carved pumpkin, paper pumpkin coloring… simply something that shows family connection and creativity!  Pumpkins can be real or not real.

Step 3. Post your PIC on This Side UP! Family’s FB page or email it to info@thissideupfamily.org BY MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY, 10/23.

WHY??!!!
1.  YOU COULD WIN.  All entries will be submitted for a Family FUNnection basket w/restaurant gift card, board game, and more!
2.  THE BIG WHY.  Because FAMILY TIME MATTERS and has been proven to be a key indicator of a child’s success and well-being.  Children who are positively connected to their family relationships are less likely to make poor choices and more likely to become confident, content community participants as they grow up!  That relationship building starts NOW, no matter the age of your child!  It’s never too early and it’s never too late to focus on family connection!  And the results will be trajectory-changing family and community strengthening!

EARN EXTRA ENTRIES!
Like, comment, and share this TSUF FAMILY TIME CHALLENGE on Facebook and when we receive your PIC we’ll enter you to win TWICE!  Use hashtags #familytimematters #thissideuupfamily and we’ll add another entry!
