Time Is Running Out for a Free Neos!

Ellen is giving away a Neos game to a worthy school or playground. If you have a recommendation for a deserving public space, tell us where it is and why a Neos game should go there! There's no time like the present, so be sure to send your recommendation soon!

Ellen - I opened this site with the intention of asking you to donate the Neos to Christ the King School in Des Moines, Iowa. I am a member of the Board of Education. I have no children, but have a special place in my heart for all children. I have been on the Christ the King board of education for 6 years, starting a 7th year after a year's absense. For 4 of my first 6 years, I was the Chair for this board.

Our board oversees the school and the religious education program for public school students in our parish. The Neos would be a fantastic addition to our growing school - for all of the children - and heck, for us adults also.

HOWEVER, as I stated, I was going to ask for the Neos for Christ the King School. After reading the request from the Virginia related to the Youth Dares program in Brooklyn, I hope that you will consider that request. I cannot think of a better use for this Neos game - not even at Christ the King School here in Des Moines.

Thank you for your generosity to our communities and to our youth.

Hey Ellen!!

My name is Bobby Tran. I am 20 and from San Diego, CA. I work at Monroe Clark Middle School, I am the Asst Site Suporvisor for the After School Program here at Monroe Clark. Our Program has been at the top of all after school programs. we have on average about 300-350 kids stay after school everyday. I think the NEOS Game would be a perfect fit for our site! Our kids are very active and love to try new things, especially new games!! We have been looking to add a new game or game system to our community/activity room! This would be perfect!! Our kids and Staff would love to have the Neos game here at Clark!!
I love the kids and i Love to see them stay out the streets and away from gangs and drugs! Please Ellen, Help our program like i help these kids everyday!!
I LOVE YOUR SHOW!!

Hi Ellen,

My name is Malissa and I am a teacher in Central Oregon. I think the Neos Game should be donated to one of our schools. A lot has gone on in our school district this past year. We recently lost both our Music and P.E. teacher due to cuts at my school. It has greatly impacted our students because of how much those two teachers did. They got the students to be active. It is sad to lose two wonderful teachers. It was really hard for our students to see these two amazing teachers go. In the Elementary Schools Music and P.E. teachers will be splitting their time between 3 schools, which means, this coming year our students will get a lot less class time in music and P.E. With todays child obesity rate going up, I think this game will bring a lot to schools and keeping kids active. I know my school, which is the oldest school in my district built in 1920, would greatly benefit from the Neos. The kids would love it and bring a little light back to our school. If the Neos was donated to our school, I would like to see about rotating it throughout our district. So all kids can benefit from it. Please Ellen, consider my school to donate the game to. You have no idea how much the students not only at my school but throughout my district would benefit and love it.

Thanks,
Malissa

Hey Hey Ellen,

I would love the neos game to be donated to a Brooklyn bound youth group called "Youth Dares"
It is a run by a group of adults & it is inter-related to NYC Police Precincts. This group seriously & selflessly gives of themselves & their time to help troubled teenagers find their place in life, their goals, become admirable young adults on the road to success, whether with their families, careers, or deal with life without drugs or alcohol.

This foundation has been around for quite a long time and is truly deserving of the neos game.

Please consider Youth Dares as the recipient of Neos.

Thank you,
Virginia

I work at Lake Aurora Christian Camp and we have hundreds of kids come here during the summer and continuing through the school year for a relatively low cost compared to other summer camps. Anyway, we have a game room that is sorely lacking in games for the kids. They get a game time each day and this interactive toy would be a great improvement to our 1 ping-pong table and 4 carpet-ball tables (if you even know what those are). Anyway, I want you to know that if you give this game to our camp we would put it to good use and lots of children from all over Florida would have the opportunity to enjoy it. I'm sure that whoever receives this cool toy will be grateful.

Hello Ellen I am 13 yrs young and it would be wonderful if you would send the neos to my church because every saturday night we have a youth getogether and it is for 7th-12th graders we feed everybody supper and play some games but it gets very boring just playing wiffle ball from 6-10pm!! we all meet in our new building outside and it is very big but we just dont have much to do and i think that if we would have a neos we could get more people to come and have fun and play and learn.I know that you said school or playground but i thought this was kinda the same thankyou very much even if we dont get it your show is still great :)

Thank you, Morgan Godt

Hi Ellen!
My name is Whitney Bell from Missouri. My mom and I watch your show together all the time, and we enjoy your show! Our favorite part is watching you dance every day. :]
I am writing to suggest that you send the neos to the college I will be attending next year, Lindenwood University. My school is a bit strict with their rules in order to reassure safety. For example, we are a dry college, meaning we are not allowed alcohol on campus. This is quite an uproar for college kids, so most kids just go off campus to drink. However, the neos would be a fun alternative to this problem. It would also break the ice the first day when everyone's a little nervous meeting new people!
Keep my college in consideration! This would be fun!

Thank You!

Hi Ellen my name is Jordan Carter and I feel like you should send my school a neo. We only have a set of monkey bars and a VERY small play area. My school just got air, but it doesn't help much. Our playground equipment is horrible, we never play on it, its really bad. So please send John Redd Smith Elementary a neo!

Love you bunches!
