Coca-Cola’s “America Is Your Park” Campaign #TakeItToThePark
It’s summertime and Coca-Cola is issuing a challenge to all Americans. They are asking people to “Take It to the Park,” get active and vote for your favorite park to win $100,000 as part of the America Is Your Park campaign.
An offshoot of their Live Positively initiative, I appreciate that the Coca-Cola company reaches out with campaigns like this, both to try and contribute to the preservation of our natural parks and environment, as well as encouraging an active lifestyle for families.
Coca-Cola’s “America Is Your Park” Campaign
Does your family have a local park where you enjoy spending outdoor play time? Get your vote in and help your favorite park win up to $100,000 from Coca-Cola. The money won by “America’s Favorite Park” will be a recreation grant to help restore, rebuild or enhance activity areas in the park.
There are three ways to vote, including an easy daily click. Other options will gain even more votes, such as checking in from your park with Foursquare, or even logging some activity using MapMyFitness.
You can read all about the Take It To the Park campaign, and how to support your local park here. Note that this weekend (July 4th & 5th) votes count double!
#TakeItToThePark
You can also help spread the word (and love of your park!) via social media, with your pictures of playing outdoors. Be sure to add the #TakeItToThePark hashtag to your fun photos on Instagram, Twitter, etc.
Visit www.Coke.com/parks for more details.
Coca-Cola #TakeItToThePark Giveaway
One reader will win a $20 Subway Gift Card and a Coca-Cola inflatable beach ball, so you can head to the park for a picnic and some active fun!
Open to US. Enter using form below.
Entries will be verified – please read the instructions on each carefully (especially the last one to tweet a picture of you in the park, for +10 entries!) Thanks!
I received a $20 Subway Gift card and park activity gift pack in consideration for participating in this campaign. All opinions are my own.
