Publix, Procter & Gamble, and Special Olympics have partnered together for 29 years to help people with intellectual disabilities achieve their dreams. Now they’re offering you two easy ways to “Be a fan” of Special Olympics.

1. Support Special Olympics while you shop at your neighborhood Publix by purchasing your favorite P&G products like Tide, Pampers, Bounty and many other well-known brands during the month of January and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Special Olympics, up to $500,000.

2. While you’re at Publix between today and Jan. 22, show you’re a fan of Special Olympics by purchasing your very own paper torch at the check-out register for $1, $3, or $5 to support Special Olympics and your local athletes! The torches include $6 in coupons on select Procter and Gamble products. These coupons are good above and beyond the brandSAVER(TM) coupons, so purchase a torch and you’ll find out just how rewarding it is to “Be a fan”!
