Back-to-School Gift Card Giveaway Guidelines - Dates August 4th to 8th, 2025 by KRIV WSS
=======================================================================
As the new academic year approaches, several organisations in Houston are hosting Back-to-School Giveaways to provide essential supplies for students. These events, while varying in details, generally have similar eligibility criteria, entry procedures, and prize offerings.
Eligibility
Typically, students from Kindergarten to 12th grade are eligible to participate. Some events may be limited to specific school districts, such as Cy-Fair Independent School District (Cy-Fair ISD). To confirm your eligibility, you may be required to present a government-issued photo ID or proof of address [2].
Entry Procedure
To enter these giveaways, you must attend the event in person during the posted hours. Some events require students to be present to receive supplies, and may ask participants to engage with event activities, such as singing a song [2][5].
Prizes
Common prizes include free backpacks filled with school essentials (notebooks, pencils, crayons), clothing vouchers, laptops, and gift cards. For instance, the Amber Cares giveaway offers 40 free laptops, along with $200 gift cards [4].
It is important to note that the winners cannot redeem prizes for cash or substitute them for other items. Additionally, the sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of like or greater value [1].
Terms and Conditions
By entering, participants agree to be bound by the rules and release the sponsor from liability for any injuries, losses, or damages caused by the prize or resulting from its acceptance, possession, use, or misuse. Opting in to receive further communication is not necessary to enter or win, and agreeing to receive further communication will not increase your odds of winning [1].
Winner(s)' names, hometowns, likenesses, and photographs may be used for broadcast, online posting, and other media [1]. Participants must agree to the sponsor's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy [1].
Odds of winning depend on the number of entries received, and individuals can win only one prize within any 90-day period [1]. Only one prize will be awarded per household [1].
These giveaways are subject to all applicable laws and regulations and are void where prohibited or restricted by law [1].
For more detailed and specific information about a particular event, it is recommended to consult individual event sources. Giveaway rules are available at the sponsor's website and at their physical location in Houston, Texas [1].
