Kleenex Brand Continues Gesture of Care Movement with a Surprise Care Pack Delivery from Israel Idonije
Nominate a Friend at Facebook.com/Kleenex for a Chance to Win Care Pack Delivery
DALLAS, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- During what has been considered one of the worst cold and flu seasons in recent history, Kleenex brand, America's Softest Tissue(([1])), is helping to share a little comfort with the third celebrity Kleenex Care Pack delivery, giving one unsuspecting Chicago nominee the surprise of her lifetime.
Israel Idonije, standout defensive lineman for the Chicago Bears, surprised Abby Owens of Edison Park this morning with a hand-delivered Kleenex Care Pack, complete with Kleenex Facial Tissue, lip balm, hand sanitizer and a plush blanket - all the essentials needed to help stay comfortable this cold and flu season.
"Giving back to the community is something that's very important to me, so I was thrilled when Kleenex brand invited me to be part of this great Care Pack initiative," said Idonije. "The unexpected gift of something as simple as facial tissue can have a huge impact, especially during cold and flu season. I encourage everyone to nominate a loved one on the Kleenex Facebook page to receive a Kleenex Care Pack delivery."
Abby Owens was nominated by her mom, Nancy, on the Kleenex Facebook page as part of the Care Sweepstakes. Abby recently moved from Iowa to Chicago and her mom thought she could use something special to help boost her spirits during her first winter in Chicago. Idonije, accompanied by Kleenex brand representatives, hand delivered the Kleenex Care Pack to her door. "I was speechless when Israel Idonije showed up at my door! I was feeling a bit under the weather and this totally changed my day. The Kleenex Care Pack delivery from Israel was such a nice surprise and definitely brought a smile to my face."
To nominate a friend for a future Care Pack delivery, visit Facebook.com/Kleenex. The last Kleenex Care Pack delivery in Chicago will occur on Sunday, March 10. The winner of each Care Pack delivery will be chosen at random from a list of nominations on the Kleenex Facebook page(([2])).
Every year, more than 62 million cases of the common cold are reported in the United States, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Kleenex brand knows that once consumers experience the softness of Kleenex brand tissues, they will be eager to share it with other cold and flu sufferers, friends and strangers alike, as a way to show they care. Bring home America's Softest Tissue and make the care complete. Together, we'll turn a seemingly-small gesture into something bigger, to make everyone feel better.
