Zippy Shell & WTOP Announce "Click for Kids" Winners

Washington, D.C., March 1, 2016 - Zippy Shell Incorporated, the Washington, D.C. based moving and self-storage company, along with WTOP, is thrilled to announce the winners of the "Click for Kids" sweepstakes that was held throughout February.

The first place winner and recipient of the $20,000 prize is Dominion High School in Sterling, Virginia.

The second place winner and recipient of the $10,000 prize is Lees Corner Elementary in Fairfax, Virginia.

Dominion High School is hoping to use the money to help the 25% of their students who live in poverty be able to participate in their "Bring Your Own Technology" initiative. Lees Corner Elementary will be using their winnings to contribute to the creation of an outdoor learning classroom.

The sweepstakes was open to public and charter schools grades K-12 in designated areas of the DC Metro. More than 300 schools registered to participate in the program. The schools competed for votes on WTOP.com to determine the winners.

More than 69,000 votes were cast over the course of the two week voting period.  

"We are so pleased that Zippy Shell had the opportunity to sponsor such a wonderful cause," says Rick Del Sontro, CEO of Zippy Shell. 'Click for Kids' was a way for us to play a small part in the important area of education in our community and we are excited to bring support to the youth of the DC metro area."

WTOP Marketing Director Mary Kay LeMay says, "In addition to providing these substantial cash prizes to help two schools, the concept also gave the participating schools the opportunity to really rally for themselves and highlight to their individual communities, their successes and also their needs. This also gave the station and our sponsor, Zippy Shell, great exposure and highlighted both our commitments to the communities we serve."

Check presentations will be made to the schools in the coming weeks.
