Maytag® and Clorox® Present '70s and Fireworks Night with the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field
First 10,000 Fans Will Receive '70s Style 'White Socks' and Clorox Laundry/Bleach Tips, Plus a Chance To Win A Maytag® Bravos® Laundry Pair
CHICAGO, June 22 -- Maytag® and Clorox are joining forces on June 23 for '70s night at U.S. Cellular field in support of keeping white socks white for all Chicago White Sox fans. The first 10,000 game attendees will receive Maytag, Clorox and White Sox branded '70s style, white tube socks with black stripes. Fans can also talk with laundry experts from Maytag and Clorox at the booth near the ballpark entrance to get tips on how to care for whites and other laundry challenges.
"Maytag is pleased to partner with Clorox to share our combined laundry knowledge with consumers for a special night at the White Sox game," said James Bartley, director of strategic alliances for Whirlpool Corporation. "We know many of our consumers who depend on Maytag® appliances, also depend on Clorox products for great results and we look forward to opportunities like these that allow us to interact and offer a little laundry guidance."
To kick off the game, the Maytag® Repairman Clay Jackson, along with the Clorox bleach bottle mascot, will throw out the game's first pitch at 7:10 p.m. CST. The Maytag® Repairman will also greet fans at the booth, along with Maytag® and Clorox laundry experts who will be passing out laundry guide booklets full of tips and tricks from Clorox. These tips will come in handy for fans who struck out with a few stains on their shirt, like ketchup and relish, while watching the game.
And, to remember this night spent with friends and family at the ballpark, fans can have their photo taken in the Maytag® and Clorox '70's style photo booth.
"Clorox is delighted to participate in this Chicago White Sox game with Maytag," said Kara Lemke, marketing manager for Clorox Bleach. "At Clorox we've been helping to keep white socks white for years, even before the '70's, so it makes a lot of sense to provide free white tube socks to 'Sox fans."
The White Sox promotions team will pick three fans at random to compete in a '70s music dance off on the dugout during the game for a chance to win a Maytag® Bravos® high efficiency top load laundry pair. The Bravos® laundry pair features a high capacity that accommodates up to 18 pounds of laundry per load, superior cleaning performance to remove tough everyday stains and is energy efficient as the pair uses 67 percent less energy and 70 percent less water as compared to pre-2004 conventional top-loaders.
