Multiple Entries from the same Entrant will not be considered. All Entries must be received during the Program Period. Only complete, valid, and truthful Entries submitted in accordance with these Official Rules as determined by Sponsor will be eligible to enter the Program. Sponsor has no obligation to advise an entrant of an incomplete or otherwise non-compliant Entry. Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, invalid, damaged, delayed, misdirected, unintelligible, incomplete, garbled, or misdirected Entry, which will be disqualified. Tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Program is prohibited and any Entries deemed by Sponsor, in its sole discretion, to have been submitted in this manner will be void. Receipt of Entry will not be deemed proof of compliance with these Official Rules.
5) Entrant selection.
Upon the application opening, Sponsor will begin reviewing all eligible Entries. Sponsor will consider each Entrant based on the following criteria as set forth in the application and on Sponsor’s website:
- Those who exemplify Sponsor’s Tenets (as defined on Sponsor’s website) either in their workplace or personal life;

6) Entrant notification.
All Entrants will be notified of their award status by the first week of the following month after the application has closed. A selected Entrant may not be declared until verification of eligibility of the Entrant as well as verification of compliance with these Official Rules. Sponsor assumes no responsibility for undeliverable selection notification resulting from any form of active or passive filtering or for insufficient space in an Entrant’s contact user account. If selection notification is returned as undeliverable or if a potential selected Entrant fails to comply with these Official Rules, or cannot be reached by Sponsor, that potential selected Entrant may be disqualified and the donation forfeited and a new potential selected Entrant may be selected, all in Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion.
7) Donation.
Sponsor will award a monetary donation to each selected Entrant through this Program. There will be a minimum award of $100 for any selected Entrant.

Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute any donation, or portion thereof, with one of comparable or greater value. Sponsor further reserves the right to pay any donation awarded directly to the cause/event/third party referenced in the Entry and not to the Entrant itself. EACH SELECTED AND VERIFIED ENTRANT WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DONATION RECEIVED.
8) Publicity and marketing.
Except where prohibited by law, submission of an Entry in the Program constitutes permission to the Sponsor to use the Entry, Entrant’s name, and other information provided in the application form for purposes of administration of the Program. Acceptance of a donation constitutes permission to the Sponsor to use the Entry, Entrant’s name, image, and likeness for marketing-related activities including social media.
