The Gatorade Tiger Moonshot Challenge

May 13th, 2008 | Posted by Debra Simpson in Events

Ok, hubbie’s a fan of Tiger Woods and their PR firm reached out to the bloggers in San Diego County to share the event details with our readers. I’ve been working with a local PR firm here as well, in the same vain, so I found this interesting and decided to share the info with you, even though it’s not really "business related."

I hadn’t seen the ad where Tiger takes a drive off the moon, maybe you have, but here it is. It reminds me of the July 1969 landing when I was standing in the kitchen, looking at the moon and imagining…..

On Thursday, May 15, from 11am-6pm come to Seaport Village and try your luck at beating other people at hitting the longest drive in a golf simulator. San Diego Chargers’ star LaDainian Tomlinson is set to make an appearance. Gatorade Tiger will name a male and female winner in each of the five cities that will host the Moonshot Challenge. The finalists will fly to New York City to compete in the Championship Event in Times Square on June 11th. At that competition, a male and female champion will win the opportunity to create their own “out of this world” experience worth up to $125,000.

On behalf of fans who participate in Gatorade Tiger Moonshot Challenge events, Gatorade Tiger will donate $100,000 to the Tiger Woods Foundation. The Tiger Woods Foundation has reached more than 10 million young people through character development programs, scholarships, grants, and the Tiger Woods Learning Center.

Here’s a "behind the scenes" breakdown of the commercial.  It’s kind of interesting:
