SEATTLE, April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparkling Ice®, made by Talking Rain Beverage Company®, is proud to announce its first-ever Cheers to Heroes campaign to celebrate America's everyday hometown heroes, in conjunction with its fifth annual partnership with the Honor Flight Network. Throughout the campaign, Sparkling Ice has pledged to give back $400,000 to unsung heroes through various initiatives including their new Cheers to Heroes contest, a donation to the Honor Flight Network, and by creating moments to surprise and delight everyday consumers.

Sparkling Ice's Cheers to Heroes contest was created to thank and celebrate not just our military, but also our local community heroes, who continue to work on the front lines to support our country. Whether you're a nurse, first-responder, grocery store worker, farmer, parent, postman, office manager, doctor, or teacher ? it's your turn to be honored for everything you have done to contribute to our country during this time of need.

"Over the last few months, our entire country has come together to fight on the front lines and support one another as we face the COVID-19 pandemic," said Chris Hall, CEO of Talking Rain. "As a company, it is our mission to support and give back to those who need it most, especially in these trying times. We want to honor the heroes who have had an immense impact on their local community, and we hope to bring a little bit of joy to these honorable people, who will forever have a lasting impact on their communities."

Beginning today, consumers across the country can nominate a friend, colleague, peer and/or neighbor who is considered an everyday hero for a chance for the hero to win $10,000. Cheers to Heroes nominations can be submitted anytime now through June 14 on the following online submission form ? www.sparklingice.com/cheerstoheroes.

At the end of the nomination period, Sparkling Ice will identify the top three submissions which will be voted on throughout the month of July on the Sparkling Ice website, and the winner will be announced on August 7^th.  The nominator of the winning hero will receive a $500 incentive.
