Registration is open now for the premier parent leadership event in the state: the California State PTA Annual Convention, April 28-May 1, 2011 in Long Beach.

Jamba Juice recognizes the tremendous value PTA members and leaders get from attending the convention, including hearing from expert speakers and trainers, choosing from more than 80 workshops, and networking with other PTA leaders around the state.

That's why Jamba wants to give more PTA leaders the chance to experience convention.

This month you can earn funds for your school and PTA programs, including conference attendance. In addition, you can qualify for a special "Sip Your Way to Long Beach" convention drawing to win an additional FREE registration** and travel voucher for the convention. Here's how it works.

Between March 1-April 10, your PTA may earn tickets for the drawing while you raise funds for your PTA.

• Two grand prize winners will each receive a FREE convention registration**, plus a $200 travel voucher to help cover expenses, and a PTA ribbon pack.
• Three winners will each receive a FREE convention registration and PTA ribbon pack.
• All winning PTAs will be acknowledged at a convention general session.  
• All participating PTAs will receive other free prizes provided by Jamba Juice and its partners.

Earn two drawing tickets for each Jamba fundaising event that your PTA schedules before April 10.  You can schedule and host an event by following three easy steps:

1. Call Jamba's Fundraising Coordinators at 1-866-Jambago (1-866-526-2246) to schedule your event.
2. Complete the necessary documents.   
3. Promote your event.  Jamba can provide a flier template and the local store general manager will help promote your PTA and advertise the event on the store's community board as well.

Note: Your event does not need to occur prior to April 10 to qualify for the convention drawing - but it must be scheduled. You may schedule up to five future fundraiser events and earn up to 10 drawing tickets.

Earn one drawing ticket by registering for the Jamba Juice swipe card program, if your PTA does not yet participate.  To learn more about how the swipe card can earn your PTA funds, click here. 

The "Sip Your Way to Convention" drawing will be held on April 11.  Winners will be notified immediately.
