Charmin Provides Relief to Tailgaters During a Treasured American Pastime, Thanksgiving Football

The Charmin Relief Project Rolls into Dallas with State-of-the-Art, Portable Restrooms CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 27, 2013-- Charmin toilet paper is bringing a better bathroom experience to one of the biggest fall traditions – Thanksgiving football. The Charmin Relief Project, a program designed to bring consumers a better bathroom experience, is wrapping up its four-city tailgating tour by bringing state-of-the-art restrooms to Dallas onThanksgiving Day when the Dallas Cowboys host the Oakland Raiders. Watching football on Thanksgiving is a staple in many American households, especially in Dallas where the Cowboyshave been playing on the holiday for almost 50 years. To celebrate this long standing tradition, Thanksgiving tailgaters inDallas will be invited to enjoy an upscale bathroom experience, complete with attendants, to provide attendees with the comforts of home and ensure every Charmin restroom visit is as great as the first. While tailgating can be a fun part of fans’ football experience, there is nothing fun about the inevitable trips to portable potties. “Thanksgiving is a time for families to gather together and celebrate and for many families in Dallas, this includes watching their home team play football,” said Janette Yauch, Charmin Brand Manager at P&G. “We’re glad we could bring the comforts of home to those tailgating at the stadium.” The tailgating potties kicked off in Denver for the opening of the NFL season, and then traveled to Oakland and New York. The Charmin End Zone area is set up in the stadium parking lot and provides interactive games and activities to help fans make the most of their tailgate. Visitors also have the chance win fun, Charmin-themed prizes. In conjunction with the program, Charmin recently launched CharminReliefProject.com, for all fans to “enjoy the go” by entering a sweepstakes to win weekly and monthly prizes, with a grand prize of a bathroom makeover. On the site, fans can see a rolling count of how many people the Charmin Relief Project has helped so far and find out where Charmin will be next. To date, the Charmin Relief Project has helped more than (141,000) people with a better bathroom experience!
