(firmenpresse) - CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 05/08/12 -- Illustrating Miller High Life's steadfast commitment to our country's veterans, the brand announced today the renewed partnership with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and a new relationship with Operation Homefront to once again "Welcome Veterans Back to the High Life." For the third consecutive year, the iconic American brand is inviting legal-age beer drinkers to support veterans by helping provide them with thousands of memorable "High Life" experiences, such as tickets to professional sporting events and concerts, throughout the summer.
In keeping with its common-sense values, Miller High Life makes it easy for consumers to get involved simply by returning specially marked Miller High Life and Miller High Life Light bottle caps and can tabs to participating retail accounts or via mail. For each cap or tab returned between May 1 and September 30, 2012, Miller High Life will donate 10 cents to provide veterans with a variety of "High Life" experiences, which include everything from throwing out the first pitch at a pro baseball game to unique access at motorsports events.
Miller High Life is also featuring new red, white and blue packaging specially designed to honor veterans.
"The enthusiasm for High Life's veterans efforts is a testament to Americans' unwavering support of those who have served our country," said Brendan Noonan, brand manager for Miller High Life. "As we continue to 'Welcome Veterans Back to the High Life,' be it at barbeques or ballgames, let's all raise a red, white and blue High Life and toast to our nation's veterans."
Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who are members of IAVA can sign up for "High Life" experiences by visiting . Those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and are not currently members of IAVA are encouraged to join for free and participate in Miller High Life's "Welcome Veterans Back to the High Life" program. Operation Homefront members can log on to and visit their local chapter page for details on how to sign up for "High Life" experiences.
"Miller High Life's 'Welcome Veterans Back to the High Life' program goes beyond a yellow ribbon or handshake to provide new veterans and their families with a lasting sense of community," said IAVA Founder and Executive Director Paul Rieckhoff. "IAVA is excited to work with Miller High Life for the third year in a row to help raise critical support for this generation of veterans and to show them we've got their backs from the day they deploy through the rest of their lives."
Over the past two years, Miller High Life has donated over $2 million in cash and experiences towards helping veterans "Live the High Life." Legal-drinking-age consumers can support the program this year by returning specially-marked Miller High Life and Miller High Life Light bottle caps or can tabs to participating bars, restaurants and convenience and grocery store locations or by mailing them to Miller High Life Veterans Program, 3903 Portage Rd., Ste C #140, South Bend, IN 46628-6192.
