Blue Cross, Detroit Lions to offer VIP #MiKidsCan Sweepstakes
Enter your child for the chance to win 10 Lions tickets, Thanksgiving dinner at the game and an appearance in America's Thanksgiving parade.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and the Detroit Lions have teamed up for the third year in a row for the #MIKidsCan Turkey Day VIP Sweepstakes running from Oct. 23 through Nov. 12. Presenting one lucky winner with a once-in-a-lifetime Thanksgiving experience, including an appearance in America’s Thanksgiving Parade® presented by Art Van and 10 tickets to, and Thanksgiving dinner at, the Detroit Lions game, the sweepstakes aims to highlight the importance of children’s health and asks families to share how they get active for 60 minutes on Thanksgiving Day.
The winner of the #MIKidsCan Turkey Day VIP Sweepstakes will be randomly selected and announced on Thursday, Nov. 16. As part of their prize package, he or she will have the opportunity to enjoy:
- A ride on Blue Cross’ new parade float, “A Confident Life,” which demonstrates its commitment to a healthier Michigan, in America’s Thanksgiving Parade® presented by Art Van down Woodward Avenue
- Special seating for eight along the parade route
- A custom jersey or jacket
- Delivering the commemorative game ball to Ford Field before the Lions take on the Minnesota Vikings
- On-field participation in the national anthem and fan tunnel experience
- A catered, Thanksgiving dinner for 10 while watching the game from club-level seats
To enter, parents can visit www.DetroitLions.com/TurkeyDayVIP to submit their answers starting Monday, Oct. 23 through Sunday, Nov. 12. Children ages 10-18 are eligible to win. Last year, Gavin DeVore, an 11-year-old from Middleville, was chosen from more than 1,300 entries to take part in the day’s festivities with his family.
