Mammoth Interact Club is going to donate all money raised through the boxtops project back into the local schools.
Look for the Boxtops symbol on top of participating Boxtops products such as those made by Betty Crocker, Hamburger Helper, Ziploc and many others. Cut it out and turn it in to one of our many Boxtops collecting stations located at the Mammoth Lakes library, Mammoth Hospital, Mimi’s Cookie Bar, The Booky Joint and Looney Bean.
Every Boxtops cutout is worth 10 cents for local schools.
