Mr. Clean kicks-off a national campaign today to help communities across America tackle their toughest cleaning jobs at the unveiling of the New Orleans Saints’ “toughest job” victory; their first home game in the Superdome since before Hurricane Katrina, a little over a year ago. “Sporting events are tremendous sources of pride and excitement as they bring communities together,” said Donald van Fossen, Mr. Clean brand manager. “Mr. Clean wanted to lend a hand wherever possible, to help New Orleans residents, who have united to restore their communities and worked so hard to prepare the Superdome for this symbolic game.” As part of the festivities surrounding the Superdome’s reopening, Mr. Clean will host two key events: The NFL Junior Player Development Homecoming Jamboree will be held on Saturday, September 23 from 3:00PM to 6:00PM at the Willie Hall Playground. As part of the NFL JPD Homecoming Jamboree, Mr. Clean will lead a “Clean Team” of community volunteers to clean up parts of the city still hurting from the effects of the Hurricane Katrina with donated products. Mr. Clean will award the “cleanest” volunteers tickets to the Mr. Clean luxury suite to watch Monday's game. The Mr. Clean look-a-like contest and tailgate booth at the Bud Bridge will be held Monday, September 25 TBD at Bud Bridge. Mr. Clean's Clean Team will challenge visitors to clean up some of the “toughest jobs” associated with tailgating and help to keep the grounds clean with Mr. Clean product. The “Most Clean Tailgaters” will receive prizes including a trip to the Mr. Clean luxury suite to watch the game with Mr. Clean and the cleanest volunteers from the Jamboree. As part of the Toughest Jobs in America program, Mr. Clean will be searching across America for the most difficult cleaning jobs that are performed each year. Often these jobs are thankless, but it is time to honor those who get dirty to keep us all clean. The program will make a variety of stops across the country––including Times Square this New Year's Eve as Mr. Clean salutes those who understand that no clean-up is too tough to handle.
