Jackson & Sons (“Sponsor”) proudly conducts “Season of Giving – Operation Warm Wishes” (the “Campaign” or “Season of Giving”). These official rules (the “Rules”) shall govern the Campaign, and by participating each participant agrees as follows:
1. Description of “Season of Giving”: The purpose of “Season of Giving” is to find homeowners who are in need in Eastern North Carolina that currently have no heating or cooling due to an inoperative/non-repairable system.
2. Dates of “Season of Giving”: “Season of Giving” will kick off with a pre-promotion on October 25th and the pre-promote will end October 31st, 2026. The promotion will then begin on November 1st and will end on November 30th, 2026. Three winners will be announced by Monday, December 7th, 2026.
3. Eligibility Qualifications, Limitations, and How to Submit an Entry as or for a Deserving Recipient:
You may nominate yourself or someone you know that needs a heating and air system in their home. Only one submission per the homeowner’s address will be accepted, as Season of Giving is based on the story and need, not by the total number of entries received.
All entries must be submitted via the online entry form available on our website at www.jacksonandsons.com (fill out online and submit). Entries will be accepted beginning at 12:00 AM on November 1, 2026, and must be received by 11:59 PM on November 30, 2026. Sponsor’s server/computer system is the official time-keeping device for this Campaign.
