As Boise Inc. (NYSE: BZ) celebrates its first anniversary as a
partner in the General Mills' Box Tops for Education® school
fundraising program, Box Tops clipped from Boise-branded paper
products have raised nearly $800,000 in funds for K-8 schools
across the country.
Box Tops for Education is the leading school fundraising program
in the U.S., contributing $74 million in the 2011-2012 school year
to benefit 90,000 schools.
"Box Tops for Education brand partners like Boise are what
really drive the program forward," said Tommy Hillman, Box Tops for
Education marketing manager for General Mills. "Schools are
directly impacted by the earning potential of these brand programs,
which ultimately go to purchase everything from textbooks, laptops,
playground equipment and field trips to teacher scholarships."
Box Tops appear on ream packages of Boise® X-9® multipurpose
paper, Boise® HD:P™ digital paper and Boise® FIREWORX® color paper.
Boise papers carrying Box Tops are available from distributors of
office paper and supplies nationwide.
"We are proud to put our brands to work to support the
educational needs of America's children," said Terry Stepney, Boise
Inc. brand manager. "And, in these challenging economic times, we
are particularly gratified to help facilitate such a significant
contribution to schools. The sustainability of the communities
where we work and live is one of our key company values."
"Box Tops for Education is a national program, with an
impressive impact on schools across the country," said Stepney. "We
see its impact close to home, where the efforts of Box Tops
coordinators have made it possible for local schools to purchase
library books and physical education equipment, and to help fund
activities like reading programs, field trips and science
projects."

About Box Tops for Education
The Box Tops for Education program offers parents and kids easy,
everyday ways to earn cash for their school. The program began in
1996, as more and more schools struggled to make ends meet. Each
year, enrolled schools receive a program kit to help them build
their own comprehensive fundraising campaign. Most schools
designate a program coordinator to develop ways to encourage
students, parents, school staff and community members to clip Box
Tops from participating products and bring them to school.
After the collected Box Tops are sent in to General Mills, the
school receives a check, equivalent to 10 cents for every Box Top
redeemed, to spend on anything they choose. Thousands of schools
have used the cash from Box Tops for Education to purchase items
such as computers and computer software, library books, art
supplies and playground equipment. Support our kids' schools today
