Bounty is giving back to the Team USA Hockey and Paralympic moms across the country, who have supported their children’s dreams, sacrificed mornings for early practices and homes to big messes. “The Team USA Hockey Moms in many ways act as the backbone of the USAHockey Teams,” said Victoria Schooler, Communications Manager for Bounty paper towels. “We want to honor those mothers who have cheered their children on from the first time they hit the ice all the way up to the first time they set foot in an Olympic venue.” Bounty’s sponsorship is a part of a larger Procter & Gamble (P&G) program during the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, titled “Thank You Mom,” which not only highlights the everyday journey athletes take to get to the Olympic Winter Games, but celebrates the moms who help get them there. As part of the 2014 Thank You Mom campaign, P&G offered their “Thanks” to all 357 moms of US Olympians & Paralympians with a gift of a $1,000 VISA gift card to help them on their journey to Sochi.
