Tiger Balm to be premier sponsor of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Chicago
HAYWARD, Calif. — Tiger Balm U.S. on Wednesday announced its third year as a premier sponsor of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Chicago. The two-day walk takes place May 31 and June 1 between Soldier Field and Horner Park.
“For nearly 100 years, Tiger Balm has been committed to providing relief from pain and suffering,” stated Kenneth Yeung, president of Prince of Peace Enterprises, the sole licensed United States distributor for all Tiger Balm products. “The Avon Walks provide vital support to people suffering from breast cancer, and we are honored to join Avon and the people of Chicago in our common fight against this terrible disease.”
As part of its sponsorship, Tiger Balm U.S. will distribute free samples of Tiger Balm Ultra Strength Ointment from its tent at the Avon Wellness Village on the first day of the Walk.
Tiger Balm U.S. is also providing a photo booth kiosk where Walk participants can pose for free souvenir photos to mark the significance of the day. Participants will receive a printed photo and will also be able to share their photos via email, text message or social media.
Additionally, Tiger Balm U.S. will give away three gift packs filled with $300, $200 or $100 worth of Tiger Balm U.S. products and gear. Walk participants can enter to win by following @Tiger_Balm_US on Twitter and tweeting a photo or Vine video from the event. The photo or video should feature themselves at the Tiger Balm U.S. tent, or elsewhere at the event with the free sample, and the tweet must include the hashtags #TigerBalm and #AvonWalksCH.
Tiger Balm U.S. is also sponsoring two other Avon Walk for Breast Cancer events in 2014, including the walks in San Francisco (July 12 and 13) and New York (October 18 and 19).
In addition to sponsoring key local events, Tiger Balm U.S. is raising awareness for the Avon Walk message on a national level by including Avon stickers on the packaging of Tiger Balm Neck & Shoulder Rub and Tiger Balm Pain Relieving Patch.
