Tork and Philadelphia Eagles Launch 2023 ‘Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch’ Campaign



09/04/2023


The Philadelphia Eagles are collaborating with Tork, a professional hygiene brand based in Philadelphia, for the third year in a row to launch the 2023 “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch” initiative. The goal of this program is to raise awareness about the importance of good hygiene and to promote its benefits. Essity, the parent company of Tork, will donate essential hygiene products such as hand sanitizer, paper roll towels, and toilet paper to two Philadelphia organizations for every catch made by the Eagles during the season.
 
These organizations are Project HOME, which works to address the root causes of poverty and homelessness in Philadelphia, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), the oldest pediatric hospital in the United States, which aims to be a global leader in children’s healthcare through excellent patient care, innovative research, and quality professional education.
 
The total donation will be up to $40,000. This partnership with the Eagles reflects Tork’s commitment to building a healthy, sustainable, and strong community.
 
Brian Napoli, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships for the Philadelphia Eagles, said that performing at a high level is important both on and off the field. He  went on to add, they are proud of their partnership with Tork for the past 16 years and their leadership in sustainability.
 
By using Tork’s innovative hygiene solutions, they can provide a superior fan experience at Lincoln Financial Field and make a meaningful impact in their community through the annual “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch” campaign. In the past two years, $65,500 worth of Tork’s innovative and sustainable hygiene solutions have been donated to local charities.
 
“Tork is committed to providing innovative, sustainable hygiene solutions – from the 70,000 cheering fans at Lincoln Financial Field to those who benefit every day from the important work of local nonprofits like Project HOME and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia,” said Matthew Urmanski, VP Sales & Marketing North America, Essity Professional Hygiene.
 
“We are proud to once again partner with the Philadelphia Eagles for this meaningful community initiative. ‘Tackle Hygiene With Every Catch’ allows us to bring awareness to the importance of sustainability hygiene to fans and community members alike.”
