Last Call for KRUPS Contest Where First Responders Could Win Kitchen Makeover

KRUPS, the worldwide leader in small kitchen appliances, has extended its “KRUPS Appreciates…” campaign through the end of the year. Originally, the campaign was launched as an initiative surrounding National Coffee Day, but to recognize all of the positive feedback and support for the campaign, KRUPS has decided to extend the contest through the holidays to say thank you to our nation’s first responders.

“KRUPS Appreciates…” is a nationwide contest offering first responders (firefighters, emergency medical technicians, volunteers and more) the chance to win a break room or kitchen area makeover, complete with new, high-end KRUPS appliances, including coffee machines, coffee,  a blender, a panini maker and more, all adding up to a total value of $3,000.

To enter, participants must “like” the KRUPS Facebook page between now and December 28, 2012, then simply upload a photo of the break room and/or kitchen area at their firehouse, response center, etc. along with a caption (20 words or less) describing why the space is deserving of the grand prize makeover.

Additionally, five “KRUPS Appreciates…” entrants will be selected at random to win one of KRUPS’ most popular machines, the Cup on Request! These five lucky winners will be selected on December 10, 2012 to receive their new coffee machine just in time for the holidays.
