Box Tops for Education

Here's a really easy fundraiser. It only takes 2.3 seconds.     EVERYONE can participate, kids included.  All you have to do is collect box tops from participating General Mills products (cereal, Fruit Roll-ups, Yoplait, etc.) Each box top is worth TEN CENTS and every single penny will be donated to McPherson Magnet School.

Here's how it works:
- Find a box of a participating General Mills product
