POWERADE® Kicks Off Youth Soccer Partnerships

with “ALABAMA YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION”

Sports Drink scores with Grocery chain in five southeast states

POWERADE®, the Official Sports Drink of the FIFA World Cup, is teaming with Publix to nurture the next generation of soccer stars by supporting state soccer associations throughout the southeast.  The Alabama Youth Soccer Association, Georgia Soccer, Florida Youth Soccer Association, South Carolina Youth Soccer Association and Tennessee State Soccer Association will be the beneficiaries of a program designed to encourage youngsters to pursue their soccer aspirations. 

During the promotional periods of April 28^th - May 18^th and August 11^th - 31^st in participating stores, 25¢ from every multipack of POWERADE purchased at Publix stores will be donated back to the five State Soccer Associations.  Packs included in the promotion are the 8 pack 20 fl oz and 6 pack 12 fl oz for all flavors.

The youth soccer association partnerships fit perfectly with POWERADE’s mission to help athletes power through to success.  One of the brand’s strongest beliefs is that, through hard work and determination, athletes can overcome obstacles and achieve new heights.  A similar spirit is celebrated and instilled by these youth soccer organizations.

In addition to the soccer program activation, the POWERADE® star will shine bright at Publix stores this spring with a myriad of great deals, including BOGO and multi-pack sales in April and May.
