Celebrities to Campaign Against Each Other For Supremacy with Proceeds Going to Charity
CINCINNATI, Sept. 24, 2009 /PRNewswire/ --
Procter & Gamble's TAG(TM) brand is proud to announce the
"Signature Series," a collaboration with hip-hop legend Chris
"Ludacris" Bridges, basketball superstar Carmelo Anthony and
professional skateboarder and MTV personality Rob Dyrdek. The Signature
Series includes three cologne quality scents featuring images of each
celebrity on the packaging. The scents are Get Yours from Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Stay Up from Carmelo Anthony, and Make Moves
from Rob Dyrdek. To kick off this new partnership, each celebrity will
participate in the "TAG Signature Series Charity Challenge", a national
election-style battle between Ludacris, Carmelo and Rob to raise money
for their individual charitable foundations by encouraging consumers to
purchase their TAG Signature Series scents. Each celebrity's charitable
foundation will receive ten percent of the net realized sales of their
product during the Charity Challenge promotion period. The celebrity
with the highest net realized sales during the Charity Challenge period
will receive an additional $25,000 donation for their foundation.
"The TAG Signature Series is all about helping the
consumer to smell the good life and we have partnered with three unique
celebrities that truly embody urban style and attitude to make that
happen," said Athena Kasvikis, assistant brand manager at P&G. "The
TAG Signature Series Charity Challenge provides a unique fundraising
opportunity to increase awareness for each celebrity foundation and to
make a difference in the community."
Ludacris will campaign on behalf of The Ludacris
Foundation, an Atlanta-based organization that empowers children to
take control of their own destiny; Carmelo will represent The Carmelo
Anthony Foundation, a national organization dedicated to providing
opportunities for underprivileged kids; and Rob will compete on behalf
of The Skate Plaza Foundation, an organization that builds skate parks
in developing communities.
The TAG Signature Series Charity Challenge kicks-off
September 21, 2009 and will conclude on November 2, 2009. Consumers can
participate in the Charity Challenge by purchasing their favorite TAG
Signature Series scent at retailers nationwide. The celebrity winner of
the Signature Series Charity Challenge will be announced during a live
press conference in mid November. Consumers can learn more about the
TAG Signature Series Charity Challenge by visiting www.Facebook.com/TAG.
Consumers visiting the TAG Facebook page will also be provided with
details on how to be entered for a chance to win a one-on-one moment
with one of the TAG celebrities.
Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Award Winning Rapper and Actor
"As someone who often wears multiple hats -- hip-hop entertainer,
entrepreneur, actor and philanthropist -- I am excited about working
with TAG on my new scent Get Yours. It's the smell of
confidence which is what everybody needs to get yours in this world,"
says Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. "The TAG Signature Series Charity
Challenge is a great opportunity to help The Ludacris Foundation, so
I'm excited to unite everyone in the ludaverse to take down Melo and
Rob."
Carmelo Anthony, NBA All-Star, Olympic Gold Medalist and Philanthropist
"My new TAG scent Stay Up is all about me being fresh whether
I'm on the court or hanging out with my friends," says Carmelo Anthony.
"Winning the TAG Signature Series Charity Challenge would help The
Carmelo Anthony Foundation expand the resources we have to invest in
programs that empower kids and help build a positive community."
Rob Dyrdek, Reality-TV Star, Filmmaker, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist
"I'm always on-the-go, so my new TAG scent Make Moves is all
about how I live my life, free and unstoppable," says Rob Dyrdek.
"There's no question that I'm going to win the TAG Signature Series
Charity Challenge. Luda and Melo might be stars, but they don't have a
TV show like I have to mobilize my fans to pick up Make Moves and help The Skate Plaza Foundation."
