Bingham Memorial Hospital Holding Regional Back-to-School Coloring Contest

Bingham Memorial Hospital is excited to announce that they will be kicking off the Bingham Memorial Back-to-School Coloring Contest as a continuation of their 65th anniversary celebration.

“We believe that coloring can be a fun, healthy, and educational experience that develops creativity,” says Mark Baker, director of public relations at Bingham Memorial Hospital. “Plus, we’re excited to be able to give back in a small way financially, helping teachers and administrators enhance the learning experience for their students.”

Bingham Memorial is hoping all creative coloring artists from grades K through 8 will help them celebrate 65 years of Bingham Memorial’s history. Students from grades K through 8 could win:

  • Up to $10,000 for their school.
  • $500 for their class.
  • A new bike with helmet for themselves.

Plus, all three winner’s creations will be incorporated into a special Bingham Memorial Hospital advertising campaign in local newspapers.

There are three categories and three ways for a school to win:

  • Group 1: Grades K-2 ($3,000 prize for the school & $500 prize for the classroom)
  • Group 2: Grades 3-5 ($3,000 prize for the school & $500 prize for the classroom)
  • Group 3: Grades 6-8 ($3,000 prize for the school & $500 prize for the classroom)

To participate, download the entry template by visiting www.BinghamMemorial.org/coloringcontest.

For everyone participating from groups 1 and 2, they can print the entry form and color the Bingham Memorial logo with what they’re passionate about and love, such as sports, flamingos, butterflies, or summer or winter things. For everyone in group 3, students can print the entry form and color a picture related to Bingham Memorial Hospital and 65 Years of Taking Healthcare to the Next Level.
