CLEVELAND, OH - March 19, 2012 - The Cleveland Cavaliers, Lake Erie Monsters and Glidden® Paint have teamed up to make schools in Northeast Ohio better and brighter through the “Colorful Community Contest”. Three local schools were chosen by the Cavs and Monsters to vie for the opportunity to have a classroom(s), hallway(s) or other space(s) repainted by the experts at Glidden Paint.
Archbishop Lyke School (Cleveland), Bissell Elementary (Twinsburg) and Clark K-8 (Cleveland) will compete through online voting to win a colorful facelift for their school. Fans can go to www.cavs.com/community or www.lakeeriemonsters.com to view each school’s submission and show support for the most deserving school by voting, which begins today and runs through March 30th.
The project is designed to help upgrade the facilities where school children learn by making them fresher, brighter and more colorful.
