WASHINGTON CAPITALS -- CLICK TO WIN IS BACK FOR ITS THIRD SEASON

The Washington Capitals have always been known a team devoted to its fans and always eager to help raise money for charities.

Now comes word that Caps Care Click to Win is back again for its third season.

Click to win is an initiative that gives local schools the chance to win a Capitals player visit, a team mascot visit, cash prizes and Caps autographed memorabilia.

Last year the Washington Capitals Charities granted $27,000 to 36 local schools. And during the 2009-10 season that amount was increased to $31,500 will be donated to 45 schools throughout the Washington Metropolitan area.

The Capitals say that schools can register online at WashingtonCaps.com by submitting a photo with a descriptive caption of their students “Rocking the Red” and showing their Caps spirit. Each month between September and May, five schools will have their photos posted on WashingtonCaps.com. Those schools each will receive a $500 grant from Washington Capitals Charities. Students, school faculty and fans will then be able to vote for the school they think is most deserving of an additional $1,000 grant. The school with the most votes each month will win a total of $1,500.

Also, the school with the most votes overall at the end of the program will get a player visit and a Capitals team-signed jersey to display at the school.
