SALEM, N.H. — Pete & Gerry’s, a pioneer in humane egg farming and producers of Pete & Gerry’s Organic® Eggs and Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised™ Eggs today announced a new 2023 MLB All-Star Week partnership with Major League Baseball. To lead off this eggciting news, the brand is challenging fans to take a “crack” at spotting “Shelly”, the Pete & Gerry’s hen, and an “egg ball” in T-Mobile Park in an MLB Instagram photo, for a chance to win tickets to MLB All-Star Week (July 8-11), plus travel and accommodations, as part of the “Ultimate All-Star Eggsperience by Pete & Gerry’s Home Run Eggs™” sweepstakes. Along with entry to marquee All-Star Week events like the MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, T-Mobile Home Run Derby, MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game presented by Corona, and SiriusXM Futures Game, the winner will also receive a Pete & Gerry’s merchandise bundle and a year’s supply of healthy, protein-packed Pete & Gerry’s eggs. The sweepstakes will launch today on MLB’s Instagram handle, @MLB.
As part of the All-Star Week partnership, Pete & Gerry’s will also be bringing a promotional pasture to life in and around Seattle’s T-Mobile Park throughout All-Star Week. With activation areas coming to life on 400 square feet of pasture both inside the stadium, as well as at the popular Capital One PLAY BALL PARK, Pete & Gerry’s welcomes fans to play interactive games, take home exclusive merchandise, and snap a photo with “Shelly”, the brand’s larger-than-life hen.
“Partnering with MLB for All-Star Week is an ‘eggcellent’ opportunity for us to connect with families and fans this summer,” says Phyllis Rothschild, Chief Marketing Officer at Pete & Gerry’s. “It’s a true home run to be a part of such a fun, historic event and bring the Pete & Gerry’s brand to baseball enthusiasts at All-Star Week.”
During the regular season, Pete & Gerry’s will be the presenting sponsor of the “Eggcellent Plays” series, highlighting key moments and winning plays. The program will extend across MLB’s digital and social platforms, as well as on MLB Network.
The brand’s new All-Star Week partnership with MLB comes on the heels of the recent launch of the newest product in the company’s portfolio Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised Eggs. These eggs come from hens raised to Certified Humane® Pasture-Raised welfare standards, guaranteeing room to roam, forage, and explore under sunny skies, with each hen enjoying at least 108 square feet of lush pasture, like a baseball’s 108 stitches! Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised eggs are available now at select retailers, for a suggested retail price of $7.49 a dozen.
