Publix, Procter & Gamble, and Special Olympics have
partnered together for 29 years to help people with
intellectual disabilities achieve their dreams. Here’s
how you can help…
+ On December 28, 2008, clip the P&G brandSAVER™ coupons
featuring Special Olympics in your local newspaper.
+ Support Special Olympics while you shop at Publix
by purchasing your favorite P&G products like Tide,
Pampers, Bounty and other well-known brands during
the month of January.
+ And while you’re at Publix between January 1-22,
2009, show you're a fan of Special Olympics by purchasing
your very own paper torch at the check-out register
for $1, $3, or $5 to support Special Olympics and
your local athletes!
NEW for 2009: This year’s torch includes $6 in coupons
on select Procter and Gamble products. These coupons
are good above and beyond the brandSAVER™ coupons,
so purchase a torch and you’ll find out just how rewarding
it is to “Be a fan”!
