Rock With Miranda Cosgrove at a Free Private Performance

Quaker Chewy, The Official Snack of Afterschool, provides 8 grams of whole grain and a chance to win a one-of-a-kind afterschool event in your hometown

CHICAGO, Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Quaker Chewy Granola Bars have long been an afterschool favorite loved by kids and moms alike. Now to make afterschool even more special, Quaker Chewy is giving parents a chance to win a free private afterschool performance for their kids hosted by actress and recording artist Miranda Cosgrove. And better yet, the winner can invite 300 guests to this one-of-a-kind good time.

As the Official Snack of Afterschool, Quaker Chewy Granola Bars are a great snack option to help keep kids going between 3 pm and 6 pm, just before dinner. Now made with half a serving of whole grains (8 grams) and no high fructose corn syrup, Quaker Chewy Granola Bars provide goodness for kids' active lives.

As the star of Nickelodeon's highest rated live-action show "iCarly," Miranda appeals to both kids and parents with her clever humor and family-friendly charm. Her debut solo album hits stores this spring, followed by a role in the animated film "Despicable Me" this summer. The Quaker Chewy Afterschool Rocks sweepstakes gives her fans one of the first chances to experience her new music live.

In addition to the sweepstakes, Miranda will be working with Quaker Chewy and the Afterschool Alliance to raise awareness about the importance of afterschool programs, especially in underserved communities. Parents can learn more and enter the Quaker Chewy Afterschool Rocks sweepstakes by visiting www.QuakerOats.com/afterschoolrocks.

Miranda's performance will be held in or near the winner's hometown. The winner will be selected by a random drawing on or about April 28, 2010. No purchase necessary.
