In partnership with Special Olympics International Board Member Maria Shriver and Special Olympics, P&G has produced a short video entitled “The Gift My Mother Gave Me.” In this video, Maria recalls the most important gift her mother, Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver, gave her –
the gift of possibility.
In addition to being a moving tribute to her remarkable mother, Maria’s video will also help raise funds for Special Olympics.  P&G invites you to visit their Thank you, Mom Facebook page at facebook.com/thankyoumom to watch and share this short video. For every share during the month of May, P&G will donate $1 to Special Olympics, up to $50,000.
You can also help boost the donation to Special Olympics through Twitter. Starting May 7, for every retweet of @thankyoumom’s tweet featuring Maria Shriver’s video during the month of May, P&G will donate $1 to Special Olympics, up to $25,000.

It’s time again to kick off this year’s P&GbrandSAVER® and Thank you, Mom program! Keep an eye out for your P&GbrandSAVER® coupon books in your local newspaper on

  Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12, 2013.  

This promotion is based on coupon redemption: Special Olympics will receive 2 cents for every coupon used and you must present the coupon upon checkout. There is no limit to the donation from P&G, so the more coupons redeemed, the higher the gift.  And don’t forget the savings for you -- the P&GbrandSAVER® coupon book includes over$48 in savings! The coupons expire June 30, 2013, so don’t wait too long to start clipping and saving! To find a local newspaper carrying the P&GbrandSAVER® coupon book please click here http://www.pgeveryday.com/brandsaver-coupons
