Ickey Woods Teams Up with Pork Rinds for Football Legends in Need
Rudolph Foods and brands lead consumers in a campaign with Ickey Woods to support
Mike Ditka’s Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund
Lima, OH (October 23, 2014) - Rudolph Foods, the world’s largest manufacturer of pork rinds,
has announced its Fourth Annual Pork Rind Appreciation Day campaign. Celebrated on the
biggest football day of the year, the first Sunday of February, Pork Rind Appreciation Day was
cemented as an annual event after the pork rind leader secured hundreds of thousands of
consumer votes, as well as political designations, in 2010. Matched each year with charitable
support, Rudolph Foods will again support Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, Inc., a nonprofit
organization that provides medical and financial assistance to former National Football League
(NFL) players in dire need. In response, Rudolph Foods is teaming up with Ickey Woods to raise
money to support the Gridiron Greats through the annual Pork Rind Appreciation Day
campaign.
Between now and the big game, $.10 of the purchase of all Rudolph Foods
branded products, including Rudolph’s, Southern Recipe, Pepe’s Snacks
and Lee’s Pig Skins will support the organization’s assistance fund (up to
$15,000).
Consumers will have a chance to play Pass the Pigskin, with Ickey Woods
for a chance to win $3,500 and a year’s supply of pork rinds from Rudolph
Foods. Beginning November 1st until the Big Game Day, fans can play Pass
the Pigskin at PorkRindDay.com where they have four chances to throw a
bag of pork rinds to Ickey Woods, completing a touch down pass, and
they’ll be entered to win! Fans can increase their chance of winning by
playing every day and sharing the game with friends.
“There are very few things more American than pork rinds and the game of
football,” says Mark Singleton, Vice President Sales and Marketing for
Rudolph Foods. “Rudolph Foods, a family owned company, is proud to lead
other football-lovin’ fans in the support of Gridiron Greats.”
