MASTER LOCK STAY SAFE THROUGH EVERY LIFE STAGE AND SEASON #MasterLockProtects #Giveaway

Master Lock, the world’s largest manufacturer of padlocks, today announced its continued focus on helping consumers stay safe with a yearlong campaign dedicated to safety through every life stage. To kick off the campaign, Master Lock will ask consumers via Twitter to share the time in their life when safety and security has been most top of mind. For every Tweet posted with the hashtag #MasterLockProtects a $1 donation will be made to the American Red Cross up to $10,000. The campaign will continue throughout the year with a series of safety tips and advice for every life stage and season.   

Sweepstakes and Donation

When in your life has safety and security been most top of mind? Starting today through January 31, participants who tweet their reply to this question using #MasterLockProtects will generate a $1 donation to the American Red Cross and will be entered for the chance to win one of 20 prize bundles. Each winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card and various Master Lock products to help keep consumers safe through different life stages and seasons. 

Master Lock will donate an initial $10,000 to the American Red Cross and will donate up to an additional $10,000 based on consumer participation in the sweepstakes for a total of $20,000 in donations – just one way the company hopes to keep consumers safe and secure through all life stages and seasons. Master Lock’s donation will support the urgent needs of the American Red Cross mission, whether it is responding to a disaster, collecting lifesaving blood, teaching skills to save a life, or assisting military members and their families during emergencies. This marks the second Twitter sweepstakes that Master Lock has hosted to benefit the American Red Cross. In 2014, Master Lock donated $16,000 to the organization.

My Thoughts

Master Lock was nice enough to send us a portable safe to try out as part of this promotion and my  daughter loves it. She's a teenager and she carries lots of things to school that I worry about her losing like house keys,  her  cell phone, and cash just to name a few. The portable safe gives me a little peace of mind. She's able to cable to wrap the case securely around the divider in her locker. Then she can put all her valuable items inside. She can even move it easily from her regular locker to her gym locker so she can toss in jewelry while she's in gym class without having to worry. No one can get in without breaking the combination. When she leaves school, she simply unhooks it and tosses it in her bag. Just keep in mind this may not work in every locker. You need to have something to wrap the cord around. Also its' not a fire proof safe and is meant more to protect from stealing than the elements. 

Of course, this is only one possible use for the portable safe. There are lots of places where it could come in handy. You can use it in the car, on college campuses, at work, or on vacations. Anywhere you feel you need a little extra security, you can bring this along and feel more peace of mind. The safe is small enough that you can store in your book bag or handbag but very sturdy despite the fact that it's made from plastic. It's also water resistant and even has a foam lining to help protect the items inside from damage. We're very happy with this item and it's a great deal for the price.
