Clothesline "Cash in on your Clutter" campaign extended to April 30 and new trip for four to Barbados included

One hundred per cent of net proceeds directly support the Canadian Diabetes Association

TORONTO, March 14, 2014 /CNW/ - Clothesline is excited to announce the extension of its "Cash in on your Clutter" until April 30, 2014 giving Canadians another month to de-clutter for a chance to win great prizes! With the long winter coming to an end, in addition to qualifying for a chance to win a $10,000 closet makeover or a weekly drawn $500 VISA gift card, donors can now also qualify for a chance to win a dream family getaway for four to sunny Barbados.

"Your donation of reusable clothing not only gives you a chance to win great prizes, but helps make a positive impact in the lives of the more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes," says Janelle Robertson, General Manager, National Diabetes Trust. "This campaign is crucial as it supports vital diabetes research, advocacy, programs and services of the Canadian Diabetes Association."

There are three easy ways for all Canadians to donate their gently used clothing and qualify to win:

1.	By phone: Call 1-800-505-5525 to schedule a FREE pick-up (mention "Clutter" to be entered).
2.	Online: Schedule a FREE pick-up at diabetes.ca/clutter.
3.	In-person: Visit a Clothesline Donation Centre. To find one near you, call 1-800-505-5525 or visit diabetes.ca/clothesline.
