Shares of "This is My Wish" Help Glade® Provide Toys to Thousands of Boys and Girls

RACINE, Wis., Dec. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The new Glade(®) campaign centers on the best feelings scent can inspire and, in the holiday spirit of giving, nothing inspires better feelings than bringing joy to others. This year, Glade(®) is sharing that joy through an original holiday song featuring Grammy-nominated musical artist, actress and youngest winner of "American Idol" Jordin Sparks, as well as a donation to Toys for Tots, providing new toys to 15,000 children.

The current campaign features a song, "This is My Wish," written for Glade's 30-second TV spot. Once the spot aired in November, song requests poured in from music teachers and consumers nationwide, inspiring Glade(®) to enlist the help of Sparks and the Young People's Chorus of New York City(®) to provide the full song as a gift to fans everywhere. Free downloads of the song are available now through December 31 on Glade.com/ThisIsMyWish. The official music video can be seen on the Glade(®) Facebook and YouTube pages.

"As an artist, I understand that, like a great song, fragrance can evoke feel-good emotions," said Sparks. "When I heard 'This Is My Wish,' the music had the same effect on me, so I was thrilled when they asked me to join in creating this beautiful song as a gift for fans. And of course, the donation to Toys for Tots is making one of my wishes of helping children come true."

Glade(®) has donated $150,000 to Toys for Tots, providing 15,000 children with a new toy this holiday season. The Toys for Tots Program collects new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in communities across America.

"The donation from Glade(®) is among the largest made by a national corporate sponsor this year," said retired Marine Major Bill Grein, VP, Marketing & Development of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. "We appreciate their help in meeting our goal of making this a happy holiday for children nationwide."

Consumers are encouraged to spread the video's message on Facebook or Twitter by using #bestfeelings and #mywish, with the goal of 150,000 shares, one for every dollar donated. In addition to the Glade(®) website, consumers can also visit Jordin's and Toys for Tots' Facebook pages to view and share the music video.
