Cheerios, made from 100 percent whole grain oats, can be part of a heart-healthy diet. Right now they're sponsoring a contest to win the experience of a lifetime with either country music superstar Martina McBride or professional athlete Cal Ripken Jr.
One music lover (and a guest) will tour the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum with McBride, hang out with her in her recording studio--the world famous Blackbird Studio in Nashville--and even get VIP tickets to one of her upcoming concerts.
Another lucky baseball enthusiast (and a guest) will have the chance to hang out and play catch with Ripken and to tour the Ripken Youth Baseball Academy in Aberdeen, Maryland, with the "Iron Man" of baseball himself. In addition, the winner will throw out the first pitch at the Cal Ripken World Series and sit in Ripken´s reserved seats at a Baltimore baseball game.
Pretty great prizes, right? If you'd like a chance to win, visit http://www.cheerios.com/love to submit your 150-250 word original story and photo, showcasing what you love to do. You'll find all the details at that link, too. Entries will be accepted through July 23.
While you're thinking about that, you have a chance to win a "Do What You Love" prize pack from Cheerios. This prize pack includes one box of Cheerios and a $25 American Express Gift Card that you can use towards doing what you love.
