Chunky MVC: Most Valuable
Coach
Search is on for the Chunky MVC: Most Valuable Coach
Campbell's Chunky
and the Coaching Association of Canada are teaming up to celebrate
coaches from the playground to the podium
Campbell's(R)
Chunky(R) and the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) announced
today the launch of the Chunky MVC: Most Valuable Coach - an
interactive, integrated campaign encouraging players, parents,
colleagues and community members to nominate their favourite
coaches, in any sport and at any level, for the chance to win the
Chunky MVC Tribute Day for their entire team, family and friends,
among other prizes.
"Campbell's
Chunky and the Coaching Association of Canada want to build
awareness of the important role coaches play within their
communities by promoting positive values as well as healthy food
choices," says Anne Yourt, Corporate and Brand Communications
Manager, Campbell Company of Canada. "We want to provide an
opportunity for players, parents and community members alike to
really show their support for those coaches who have demonstrated
true dedication and commitment both on and off the field."
The Coaching
Association of Canada supports Campbell's Chunky soup and chili as
Real Food Recommended By Real Coaches(TM), as part of a balanced
diet in accordance with Canada's Food Guide. All Campbell's Chunky
products contain no artificial colours or flavours, eight varieties
proudly carry the Heart and Stroke Foundation's Health Check(TM)
symbol and five Chunky soup varieties now have 25 per cent less salt
than their original recipes.
Starting today,
nominations can be submitted online at chunky.ca/mvc where the
public is asked to provide short essays highlighting why they think
their coach should be named the Chunky MVC. Nominated coaches can
represent teams from any group, gender, sport or skill level. The
deadline for all submissions is January 29, 2009.
Once all of the
nominations have been submitted, four finalists will be chosen and
TSN, the media partner for this initiative, will create a television
promotional spot featuring the four finalists as well as online
videos. The public will then have the chance to vote online to
select the Chunky MVC.
"This contest is a
fantastic opportunity for a community to get engaged and rally
behind their coaches to recognize all that they have done and
continue to do for them," says John Bales, Chief Executive Officer,
Coaching Association of Canada. "Our mandate is to improve the
effectiveness of coaching across all levels of the sport system and
to enhance the experiences of all Canadian athletes. We are pleased
to partner with Campbell's Chunky, who shares our commitment to
quality and sport in Canada, on this important initiative that will
provide much deserved recognition for those unsung heroes in
countless communities across the country," Bales adds.
The Chunky MVC
winning coach will be determined by the highest number of online
votes and he or she will receive the grand prize of the Chunky MVC
Tribute Day. Featured on TSN and hosted by a member of the TSN Coach
Squad, the Tribute Day includes a Big League Breakfast with a TSN
personality and a nationally recognized coach from the winner's
sport, along with a VIP Training Camp to honour the winner's team,
an award ceremony and a Chunky soup and chili feast. The winner's
community sport organization will also receive $5,000.
The TSN Coach Squad
was developed to highlight the importance of coaching and features
TSN personalities who are experts in their respective sports,
including Glen Suitor (football), Pierre McGuire (hockey) and Jack
Armstrong (basketball).
