Opportunity for Grant Money Via Scotts Water Smart Pledge Campaign  

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company and Keep America Beautiful have teamed up on an educational campaign to help homeowners learn the simple steps they can take to help maximize the water-saving benefits of lawns via the Scotts® Water Smart™ Pledge.  KAB is encouraging you to get your supporters and volunteers involved. Beyond saving water, homeowners who take the Scotts Water Smart Pledge will be entered for the chance to win several great prizes, including the potential to win grant money for your KAB affiliate to build or improve a community green space:

The weekly winners and grand prize winner are determined based on the number of people who take the “pledge” in your community. So, inform your members and volunteers of this important program you'll work together to save water and benefit your community!
