BENTON HARBOR, Mich.,
Jan. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- The Whirlpool brand Every day, care™ campaign honors the
often unsung caregivers who keep families on track by doing the
washing, cooking and cleaning. People often express their gratitude
for these acts of care through music, which is why Whirlpool brand,
with triple-threat entertainer Hunter
Hayes, is inviting people around the country to record and
dedicate their unique version of "You Are My Sunshine" as a tribute
to a loved one. On Feb. 8, one
winner's extraordinary "thank you" will air in a 30-second
commercial in front of tens of millions of people.
"Since my first performance at age four, my parents have given
me unconditional care and support. It's because of this support
that I'm living my dream," said Hayes. "I thank my parents in a lot
of ways, often through my music, and I'm partnering with Whirlpool
brand to give someone the opportunity to honor a loved one in a
similar way."
To enter the contest, individuals record themselves singing,
humming or playing "You Are My Sunshine," dedicate it to someone
whose acts of care have played a vital role in their life and
upload the video to Whirlpool.com/everydaycare. People can submit
their performances until 11:59 p.m. Sunday,
Jan. 25. Once submissions close, the winner will be chosen
based on the following criteria: video quality, demonstration of
care, and performance of "You Are My Sunshine." The winning
performance will air on Feb. 8.
"Music plays a vital role in the care we give and receive, day
in and day out," said Jon Hall,
senior brand manager Whirlpool brand. "Care and music both
require commitment and sacrifice, both have the power to transform,
and ultimately enable great things, which is what the Every
day, care™ campaign is all about."
