Frequent Heartburn Sufferer Larry the Cable Guy
Will Present a Check on Behalf of Prilosec OTC at Taste of the
NFL’s Party with a Purpose® Ahead of Super Bowl 50 in the San
Francisco Bay Area
Prilosec OTC, comedian Larry the Cable Guy, and a trio of NFL
players fought more than heartburn this NFL season – they also
fought hunger by committing a donation of 1 million meals** to food
banks across the country through a partnership with Taste of the
NFL. Prilosec OTC recruited three NFL stars – Jared Allen of the
Carolina Panthers, Nick Mangold of the New York Jets, and DeMarcus
Ware of the Denver Broncos – to help raise awareness of the issue
in their communities. All season long, Mangold, Ware, Allen, and
Larry the Cable Guy, all of whom are frequent heartburn sufferers,
rallied NFL fans to join Prilosec OTC in the fight against hunger
by donating to their local food banks through Taste of the NFL’s
Kick Hunger Challenge.
“I love teaming up with Prilosec OTC because you can’t beat zero
heartburn* – especially during football season. But, this year was
extra special because we rallied top NFL players to help us beat
hunger,” said Larry the Cable Guy. “I’m so proud to represent
Prilosec OTC at Super Bowl 50 as we present a check to Taste of the
NFL and donate 1 million meals** to those who need it most this
football season.”
On February 6, 2016, Larry the Cable Guy will present a check
for $125,000 on behalf of Prilosec OTC at Taste of the NFL’s 25th
annual Party with a Purpose®. For 25 years, this Super Bowl
fundraising event has helped Taste of the NFL raise more than 22
million dollars for food banks in all 32 NFL markets. During the
event, guests will enjoy signature dishes served by renowned chefs
from each NFL city alongside a current or former NFL player from
that city.
“As an NFL player, I’m lucky to have the opportunity to work
with an amazing organization like Taste of the NFL, and Party with
a Purpose® is a great way to celebrate the end of the season by
raising money for our neighbors in need,” said Allen. “It’s
incredible that Prilosec OTC committed to donating 1 million
meals** to support the great work that Taste of the NFL is doing –
you can’t beat that!”
