Emergen-C Surprise?

Emergen-CPosted on the Emergen-C facebook page:  
"Something fierce and fruity is headed your way....a surprise is coming soon!"  Hmmmmm........maybe free samples or a giveaway?  I'll keep you posted once they announce.  
And while we're on the subject of Emergen-C, lemme share a little story with you.  Last week I posted about how you could go to their website and request a free sample.  Surely you've already done this, right?!  Well, while I was there I noticed that they had a section for Sponsorship Requests.  Just for grins I clicked on it and read up on how they're always on the lookout for sponsorship opportunities (big & small).  You can go HERE to read it yourself.  Because I'm goofy, I filled it out for my son AJ's football team.  It took all of 5 minutes to get thru the short form.  I requested their sponsorship for the first football game next season.  I wrote a brief story about how this team of 10 year old boys have lost every single game this season (most by 20+ points - yeah, we kinda stink), but that they had a lot of heart and were determined to work hard in the off season and come back next year to do better.  I requested samples/goodies for the spectators for our team and the rival team, to the tune of about 150.  Their form said your event needed to be at least 60 days away (no problem there), and that it could take several weeks for them to get back to you.  I hit "submit" and really didn't expect to hear anything further on it.  Guess what - within 24 hours I had an email back from them that they would LOVE to sponsor the football event and would send me 500 (yeah, you read right!) sample/goodie packs.  I cannot wait to see what they send!  Can you tell I'm super excited?!  What does this mean for you?  Well, you're certainly welcome to come out to the game and get a free sample pack, but why I'm really telling you this is that you have the same opportunity.  Got a Girl Scout campout or big meeting coming up?  School Carnival (Yale PTA, are you listening?), Church event, sporting event?  They apparently are very loose with their samples.  If they'll send to me, then you've certainly got a shot!  Go HERE for information, and to fill out the form.  Let me know if you submit, and I'd LOVE to hear if you get sponsored!!
