Philadelphia Eagles & Tork to Donate $39,000 Worth of Essential Hygiene Products to Project HOME on Wednesday, February 22

Originally published on Tork News Center

The Philadelphia Eagles and Tork®, the professional hygiene brand from the global hygiene and health company, Essity, with North America headquarters in Philadelphia, have teamed up for the second consecutive year to “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch” and promote the benefits of proper hygiene. For every completed catch made by the Eagles from September 19 through the end of the season, Tork pledged to donate $100 worth of hygiene products to Project HOME, a local nonprofit organization committed to empowering adults, children and families to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty, and to enable all to attain their fullest potential.

The “Tackle Hygiene with Every Catch” campaign aims to raise awareness around the important role good hygiene plays in keeping our community healthy and promote the benefits for fans, players and the community through the donation of toilet paper and surface disinfecting wet wipes.

Thanks to 390 receptions by the team, Tork will be donating $39,000 worth of hygiene products to Project HOME on Wednesday, February 22 as part of a ceremonial check presentation and hygiene product delivery at the Cira Center Lobby.

Last year, $26,500 worth of sustainable hygiene products were donated to Project HOME.
