The 100% juice brand is showing they are 100% thankful for teachers who go above and beyond by giving away more than $30,000 in prizing

STAMFORD, Conn., August 4, 2020 – Year after year, teachers step up for their students by working overtime and dipping into their own savings to outfit their classrooms with back-to-school supplies. When remote learning took over this year, they had to lean in to their own resources even more to keep students motivated and engaged, upping their superhero status tenfold as an essential worker. And as families around the country prepare to go back to school this fall, whether virtual, in-person or a combination of both, one thing remains constant: teachers’ support for their students. This school year, Juicy Juice®, the iconic kids’ beverage brand, is recognizing teachers who navigated the new normal of schooling through the 100% Thankful Teacher Contest and rewarding them with more than $30,000 in prizing.


During the month of August, parents can nominate their kids’ teachers who consistently go above and beyond, especially when schooling went virtual. By visiting JuicyJuice.com/Thankful, parents can submit a brief nomination detailing how their kids’ teacher made a difference in their education. The top 20 entries will be shared online for the entire country to read, be inspired and vote for their favorite. The two winners who receive the most votes will each win a $10,000 grand prize to help them have the best school year yet. All finalists will win a custom prize pack of school year necessities, a supply of Juicy Juice 100% Juice and a Michaels gift card to help ease supply woes.

To help parents and teachers prepare for a school year unlike any other, Juicy Juice is partnering with Lanesha Tabb of Education with an Apron, a K-2 educator with more than 14 years of classroom experience and two elementary students of her own. Through tips and advice found on Juicy Juice’s website, Lanesha will inspire and motivate parents through lessons, resources and relatable experiences as their little students return to school.

“This school year will certainly be an adjustment for parents,” says Tabb, “I’m proud to partner with Juicy Juice as they honor teachers around the country who are working tirelessly to adjust their lesson plans, classrooms and personal lives to make their students’ learning experience as seamless as possible this year.”

“Year after year, we see teachers go above and beyond to make sure students have a productive and engaging classroom experience,” said Ilene Bergenfeld, chief marketing officer at Harvest Hill Beverage Company. “Lanesha is the embodiment of giving 100% to her class, which makes her the ideal partner to help us spotlight teachers and act as a resource to parents during this back-to-school season, no matter what it may look like for them.”

Juicy Juice 100% juice has been enjoyed by families as a back-to-school lunch and snack staple for more than 40 years. Available in 15 juicy flavors, Juicy Juice 100% juice is made with no added sugar, ever, and the delicious sweetness comes straight from the fruit. Each 8 oz. serving packs one cup of fruit and is an excellent source of Vitamin C, making it a great choice that moms and dads can be 100% thankful for this back to school season.

The iconic beverage brand is encouraging families to engage in acts of goodness and committing $15,000 to help continue their good deeds

STAMFORD, Conn., January 7, 2020 – It’s a new year, and a time for new goals and adventures. Resolutions often symbolize what matters most, so this year Juicy Juice®, the iconic kids’ beverage brand, is asking families to remember the importance of simple acts of goodness with the launch of the “Show Your Goodness” Contest. Whether the act is big or small, there are many meaningful ways to do some good and Juicy Juice is celebrating them all.

Today’s new generation of parents are focused on raising kids to show respect and kindness to others. In fact, 40% of parents with kids under age 12 indicate they prefer their children to be kind and compassionate over academically successful (26%).[1]

And, like parents, Juicy Juice also celebrates the goodness in kids. To do so, Juicy Juice is challenging families to kick off the New Year on a ‘good’ note by splitting $15,000 equally amongst 10 recipients. Starting today, families can enter the “Show Your Goodness” Contest through three simple steps:

  • Snap a photo while completing an act of goodness
  • Submit photo and short caption of less than 100 words explaining the act
  • Follow along with other goodness entries and vote for your favorites

The top 20 entries will be shared online for the entire country to read, be inspired, and vote for their favorite. The ten who receive the most votes will receive the grand prize of $1,500 each to help continue their acts of goodness.

“Our goal is to translate the goodness found in Juicy Juice beverages into families’ everyday lives by displaying simple acts of goodness that may seem small but make a large impact on others,” said Ilene Bergenfeld, Chief Marketing Officer at Harvest Hill Beverage Company. “From sharing your favorite toy to creating a compost garden or participating in a charity walk, there are endless ways for all members of the family, even little ones, to do good.”

Through January 31, families can enter the “Show Your Goodness” Contest at JuicyJuice.com/ShowYourGoodness. Families are also encouraged to share their good deeds on social media using the hashtag #JJShowYourGoodness to inspire friends and family to join in with their own simple acts.

For more information and to see how families are committed to acts of goodness, families can follow Juicy Juice on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Learn more about the newest beverage options ranging from 100% juice to lower-sugar and organic at JuicyJuice.com.

Four in 10 Parents Still Do All of the Cooking, but Kids Can Help with Family-Friendly Holiday Recipes and Table-Decorating Ideas

STAMFORD, Conn., November 28, 2018

Research released today by Juicy Juice®, the iconic kids’ beverage brand that many millennial parents grew up with and are now serving to their own children, finds that the days of relegating kids to a separate table for holiday celebrations are fading fast. Instead, well over half of all parents (61%) will make room for everyone, kids included, at the same table, according to the new Juicy Juice Family Occasions Survey of more than 1,000 U.S. parents, including both moms and dads.

“Families today are busier than ever, especially this time of year, so finding ways to spend more time together is important to parents and that includes holiday dinners,” explained Ilene Bergenfeld, Chief Marketing Officer at Harvest Hill Beverage Company. “To help, Juicy Juice is providing a host of holiday recipes that parents and kids can make and enjoy together at their family’s holiday celebrations.”

What’s on the Holiday Menu?

Despite parents being busier than ever, some traditions remain the same, and home-cooked meals are no exception. According to the Juicy Juice Family Occasions Survey, parents will prepare all (43%) or at least some (51%) of the holiday meal themselves.

The survey found that guests who are asked to bring a dish will most likely contribute something sweet. Two in five parents prefer to bring dessert (41%), rather than a savory dip or appetizer (36%) or beverage (23%), to the holiday celebration. With everyone sitting together, hosts can make a festive drink for the entire table, such as this Juicy Jingle Punch, an apple-flavored, sparkling beverage made with Juicy Juice 100% Juice and cranberry ice cubes. Additional homemade and semi-homemade recipes that are perfect for a shared table or holiday celebration, include:

Who Will Deck the Halls?

According to the survey, nearly every family (90%) plans to get in the festive spirit by decorating their homes for the holidays. In fact, a majority of kids (75%) and parents (53%) alike favor December holidays as their favorite. An easy way for parents to decorate and make the head table more fun for kids is with cheerful place settings. Dress up an ice-cold, refreshing Juicy Juice box as a Frosty Snowman and place one at each child’s seat. This do-it-yourself decoration makes for a festive tablescape and a no-mess beverage during dinner. Juicy Juice also suggests these inexpensive décor and party ideas:

For even more recipe and activity inspiration this holiday season, families can visit www.juicyjuice.com.

Methodology

The Juicy Juice Family Occasions Survey queried 1,004 US parents (n=502 dads; n=502 moms) of children ages 2 to 8 years old. The survey was conducted by Engine for Juicy Juice, with online interviews October 2-7, 2018.

Influencer-driven, content-generating “Show Your Bold” contest challenges teens to put their originality to the test

Stamford, CT, November 1, 2018 – SUNNYD today launched the next phase of its brand makeover with a national contest encouraging its target audience, Generation Z teens, to show what makes them boldly original: any kind of special talent, passion or skill, with the emphasis squarely on “any.” The contest, titled “Show Your Bold,” is now live at SDShowYourBold.com, revamped social media channels and through its “Bold Originals,” a new group of diversely gifted and influential teens that embody what it means to be Boldly Original.

Each “Bold Original” was hand-selected by SUNNYD based on their unique skill and original style to create videos and other call-to-actions across their platforms, urging their loyal audiences to put their own “bold” on display.

“’Show Your Bold’ brings to life everything SUNNYD is about, and that is being one-of-a-kind, and not afraid to show it,” said Miguel Katigbak, Marketing Manager of SUNNYD brand owner Harvest Hill Beverage Company. “Whether sharing their talents, goals or plans to change the world, Gen Z is a group that doesn’t demur from sharing what they love to do, and do best, so we can’t wait to see what comes in.”

STAMFORD, Conn., August 13, 2018 –Juicy Juice®, the iconic kids’ beverage brand, launched a back-to-school campaign today to offer families quick and easy tips and recipes from Food Network star and dad, Chef Jeff Mauro. A continued partnership brings home the flavor, inspiring families to discover new ingredients and ideas for meal and snack time throughout the busy school year, as well as cooking advice and a video series featuring the popular Juicy Juice 100% juice line. The website will also include fun games and activities, with a chance to win prizes.

“Being equipped with stress-free meal tips and recipes for the busy back-to-school season can allow families to spend less time planning and more time enjoying meals together, which is why we are so glad to partner with Chef Jeff again and bring the fun back to weekday meals,” said Ilene Bergenfeld, Chief Marketing Officer at Harvest Hill Beverage Company. “As a brand, we not only provide a variety of flavorful, better-for-you beverage options that are perfect for backpacks and lunch boxes, but can also be used to create family-friendly meals that parents and kids can cook and enjoy together.”

“As a dad and chef, I’m excited to continue working with Juicy Juice to share my go-to tips and recipes that not only introduce children to new flavors and ingredients, but let families spend more time together at home and in the kitchen,” said Mauro.

Back-to-School Website for Families

Consumers can visit the Juicy Juice website at www.JuicyJuice.com for all of Chef Jeff’s exclusive content on the back-to-school page, inspired by personal experience with his son, Lorenzo. With no added sugar or sweeteners and 16 100% juice flavor varieties, such as apple and orange tangerine, Juicy Juice can help parents boost flavor and taste without adding unwanted ingredients. To get started, the Food Network star created time-saving cooking tips and kid-friendly recipe ideas that are perfect for back-to-school routines and weekly meals, including:

  • School Morning Time Saver: Skip the crazy mornings by making several jars of overnight oats, sweetened with Juicy Juice 100% juice and packed with nuts and fruit, for a great, grab-and-go breakfast enjoyed by the entire family.

  • After-School Energy Boost: Homemade granola is unbeatable for an after-school energy boost, especially when packed with dried fruit, coconut and pumpkin seeds, and sweetened with Juicy Juice 100% juice. Families can make a big batch on Sunday and pre-portion into snack baggies for easy enjoyment.
