Help Your Favorite Park Win Big

Whis is your favorite park? Coca-Cola wants to know because it will give the top three voted parks recreation grants.

As part of the second annual America Is Your Park campaign, families vote for their favorite park to win the title of “America’s Favorite Park” and a $100,000 recreation grant made possible by the Coca-Cola Live Positively initiative. The campaign, which launched yesterday, was developed in collaboration with the National Park Foundation, America’s State Parks and the National Recreation and Park Association.

“Last year, millions of Americans showed their passion for their favorite parks by voting, so this year we’ve raised the stakes – more parks can win and there are more ways to vote,” said L. Celeste Bottorff, vice president of Living Well, Coca-Cola North America. “We’re asking people to be 'digital' by voting online for their favorite park and then get 'physical' by getting out and having fun with us this summer.”

The three parks that receive the most votes by Sept. 6 will be awarded recreation grants in the following amounts: First Place – $100,000; Second Place – $50,000; and, Third Place – $25,000. These grants will help restore, rebuild or enhance recreation areas in parks where people can play and be active.

The campaign also encourages people to attend active healthy living events at local parks in select cities this summer. Additionally, people can watch, download and share fitness-in-the-park videos from LivePositively.com featuring fitness icon Jake Steinfeld, founder of “Body By Jake.”
