ORANGE, Calif. — Just in time to celebrate National Guacamole Day (Sept. 16), the makers of WHOLLY® GUACAMOLE, America’s No. 1 refrigerated guacamole brand, is launching its national “#GuacOClock” campaign to support families during breakfast, lunch and snacks now that school is back in session. Consumers will be invited to share how they use WHOLLY® products in their school year breakfasts, lunches and snacks on social media. For every photo/hack/recipe shared, consumers will be entered for a chance to win a grand prize of free WHOLLY® GUACAMOLE for one year, as well as the opportunity to nominate a school, parent-teacher association or a student-focused community organization to receive a $1,000 donation. Additionally, the makers of WHOLLY® GUACAMOLE will make a $5 charitable donation to the nonprofit KABOOM! (up to $5,000) for each entry, intended for future play area builds around the country.
“We understand how stressful it can be getting back into the school year routine; that’s why we want to continue showing up for parents and families as the breakfast, lunch and snack time brand everyone loves,” said Chris Monahan, brand manager of WHOLLY® products. “Our support for national non-profit underscores our commitment to the communities and families we serve. We look forward to rewarding deserving fans with the guacamole they love and an opportunity to give back.”
As part of the campaign, the makers of WHOLLY® GUACAMOLE will participate in a local Anaheim event with the Anaheim Ducks Foundation and KABOOM! to build a Ducks-themed playground on Sept. 16. Volunteers will receive WHOLLY® snack bags with product, coupons, chip clips and more.
