Green Bay Packers and Tork wrapped up their “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch” campaign by donating $29,000 worth of hygiene products to two local nonprofits in need.
With “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch,” which ran through the first five home games of the Packers season, Tork pledged to donate $250 worth of hygiene products for every Packers catch. The Packers had 116 catches through the Chargers game resulting $29,000 in products donated Tuesday with help from wide reciever Jayden Reed.
Recipients of the donations are:
- Pillars, a charity that provides shelter, support and solutions to address housing needs in Appleton.
- Harbor House, which provides safe shelter and support services to survivors of domestic abuse in Northeast Wisconsin.
“Tork products play a huge role here at Lambeau Field in keeping our players, staff and fans alike healthy by fostering positive hygiene habits,” said Craig Benzel, vice president of sales and business development for the Packers. “Good hand hygiene plays an important role in preventing illness, and we’re glad to partner with Tork to promote hygiene through donations of sustainable Tork hygiene products in our local community.”
Tork is the professional hygiene brand of Essity which has facilities in the Fox Cities.
“Essity extends our gratitude to the Green Bay Packers for all the contributions they made to help create this opportunity for Pillars and Harbor House as increased hygiene standards are still as important as ever,” said Cindy Stilp, marketing communications director for Essity. “We are grateful to be part of this community where we employ 900 people at our Service Excellence Center as well as our manufacturing and converting facilities in Appleton, Neenah and Menasha. We are the proud provider of Tork hygiene products to Lambeau Field and we’re proud to support this economy and, together, do some really good work for the health of the people who call the Fox Cities their home.”
