- The 'Search for America's Chief Health Officer' - Deadline: September 30, 2008
In most households, moms are the nutritional gatekeeper and largely determine what foods and beverages their families consume. This “job description” has become increasingly important with the country’s rising rate of childhood obesity, which has tripled in the last 30 years. To recognize this vital role, America’s milk processors are joining forces with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Project M.O.M. to salute moms nationwide for helping to keep their families healthy and fit.
To help spread the word, the got milk? campaign is hitting the road to search for hometown Chief Health Officers. From May to September, Milk Mustache Mobiles will travel to 75 cities throughout the country hosting free, local events to celebrate mom and her valuable role as the family’s nutritional decision maker. At each local stop during the tour, families can pose for their own milk mustache photo, sample lowfat and fat free milk from local processors and “mom-inate” a mom they know to win America’s Chief Health Officer. The national winner will be featured in her own Milk Mustache ad.
Grand Prize: $100,000.
