Seattle-based Talking Rain Beverage Co., the maker of Sparkling Ice beverages, announced the second annual Cheers to Heroes campaign to honor and celebrate America’s everyday heroes. To kick off this year’s campaign, the Sparkling Ice brand is teaming up with one of America’s favorite hometown heroes: three-time Olympic Gold Medalist Gabby Douglas.
The Cheers to Heroes campaign was created to recognize unsung heroes across our country who have dedicated their lives to serving their communities. Last year, the call-to-action contest received thousands of nominations and heartfelt stories honoring local heroes ― from first responders, community activists, teachers, healthcare workers and more. The winner of the 2020 Cheers to Heroes contest was local restaurant owner, Rosako Bailey of Bedford, Texas, who was recognized for his dedication to feeding homeless veterans.
