Target, which gives $3 million a week to support education, the arts, social services and volunteerism nationwide, today invites the online community and its more than 725,000 fans on Facebook to participate in Super Love Sender, a two-week-long giving campaign on its Facebook Page (facebook.com/Target).

The campaign, which runs from January 31 through February 14, 2010, combines football and love just in time for Super Bowl XLIV and Valentine’s Day, and allows participants to choose how five national charities will receive a portion of $1 million from Target to fund educational programming including United Way Worldwide.

United Way WorldWide will use funds to help children enter school ready to learn, read proficiently by 4th grade and graduate on time. [more about UWW education goals]

Through Super Love Sender, everyone can upload a personal photo and customize one of three quirky Valentine’s Day, football-inspired video cards to send to friends and family in support of the select charities.  Every time a video card is sent, the guest-chosen charity will receive one vote.  The total percentage of votes will correlate to the charities’ portion of the $1 million received in a one-time donation from Target.
