Bid With Your Lid Program comes to Ann Arbor
City of Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation is excited to announce a partnership with New Hampshire-based Stonyfield Farm, the world’s leading organic yogurt company. From now through Oct. 1, 20 Ann Arbor grocery stores will host Stonyfield Farm “Bid With Your Lid” program. Shoppers that purchase Stonyfield Farm products can return to any of the participating Ann Arbor grocery stores to cast their vote for three Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation entities: Mack Indoor Pool, Ann Arbor Senior Center and the Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation Scholarship Fund. The program that receives the most votes at the end of the 8-week campaign will receive a $15,000 donation from Stonyfield Farm.

Visit http://www.stonyfield.com/annarbor to check out the program and learn more about this great initiative. Below is the schedule of locations and events Stonfield Farm will be distributing complimentary samples of their products this weekend/week. We hope to see you there...then cast your vote for Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation!

The following grocery stores have Stonyfield Farm “Bid With Your Lid” campaign bins. Bring your clean Stonyfield yogurt lids back to the store to vote for the community program you think should get a $15,000 donation.  Ask the store manager where the “Stonyfield Bid with Your Lid” ballot boxes are. Choose from one of three programs: Mack Indoor Pool, Ann Arbor Senior Center and the Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation Scholarship Fund. The location with the most votes at the end of the eight-week campaign (Oct. 1) will receive $15,000 from Stonyfield Farm. In addition to being a site where you can vote, complimentary samples of their products will be handed out in the store’s parking lot on the dates below. We hope to see you there.
