Caps Care Click to Win is back for its third season! Click to Win is a community relations initiative that gives local schools an opportunity to win a Caps player visit, a team mascot visit, cash prizes and Caps autographed memorabilia.

Last year Washington Capitals Charities granted $27,000 to 36 local schools. During the 2009-10 season $31,500 will be donated to 45 schools throughout the Washington metropolitan area.

Schools can register online at WashingtonCaps.com by submitting a photo with a descriptive caption of their students “Rocking the Red” and showing their Caps spirit. Each month between September and May five schools will have their photos posted on WashingtonCaps.com. Those schools each will receive a $500 grant from Washington Capitals Charities. Students, school faculty and fans will then be able to vote for the school they think is most deserving of an additional $1,000 grant. The school with the most votes each month will win a total of $1,500.

The winning doesn’t end there! The school with the most votes overall at the conclusion of the program will also receive a player visit and a Capitals team-signed jersey to be displayed in the school.

Sign-up is QUICK and EASY and all local schools with 501(c)(3) status are eligible. Click and Win – nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Schools only can register once and only can be selected once per season. Schools must be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits and send proof of their status to the Capitals via fax at 202-266-2360 or email at clicktowin@washcaps.com. Winners will be recognized on WashintonCaps.com.
