Caring Causes and Sweepstakes: Pork Rind Appreciation Day

Rudolph Foods, the world’s largest manufacturer of pork rinds, has announced its Third Annual Pork Rind Appreciation Day campaign. Rudolph Foods will again support the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides medical and financial assistance to former National Football League (NFL) players in dire need. 

Between now and the big game, $.10 of the purchase of all Rudolph Foods branded products will support the organization’s assistance fund (up to $15,000). The campaign is also matched with several opportunities for consumers to play along for chances to win football parties, pork rinds and other prizes to celebrate pig skins and pig skins together.

As part of the 3rd annual campaign, Rudolph Foods is further encouraging lovers of pork rinds to help make the six month campaign a success by visiting the brand’s web site at RudolphFoods.com/PorkRindDay. There, fans can vote for Team Spicy or Team Smooth as their favorite pork rind team. 

After the winning pork rind team is announced, the winning four flavors will compete against each other in the “Super Snack Bowl” at RudolphFoods.com/PorkRindDay. Consumers can log on, beginning January 8, and vote for their favorite flavor once a day. 

The Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund’s mission is to assist retired NFL players in need, who were pioneers of the game and who have greatly contributed to the NFL’s status as the most popular sport in America. GGAF provides hands-on assistance to help retired players and their families deal with hardships they face after football. The services include medical assistance, transportation costs for medical evaluations and surgeries, housing assistance, financial assistance for utilities, medication, and coordination of services for food, automotive payments and childcare.

Last year, Rudolph Foods conducted their second campaign for Pork Rind Appreciation Day, as a continuation to helping Rudolph Foods’ consumers celebrate pork rinds as a nostalgic snack that encourages families to join together each football season to watch the game together. A successful campaign, Rudolph Foods donated $10,000 to the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, supporting retired NFL players in need.
