Denver - Do You Do #3?

Online, September 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - ATLANTA - If you do #1 or #2, don't forget to do #3 - wash your hands. This is the message Georgia-Pacific Professional is spreading around Denver, because the company believes everyone should wash their hands with soap and dry them with a paper towel. The campaign, titled Spread Wellness, is aimed at motivating people to wash and dry their hands when away from home. The campaign also encourages everyone to be a Spread Wellness ambassador by sharing the importance of hand hygiene practices wherever they go.

Georgia-Pacific Professional will reach out to people of all ages in Denver to encourage proper hand washing practices. The following events are planned for September 28 - 30:
• Hygiene Kit Giveaways: On Sept. 30, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Spread Wellness ambassadors will be handing out hygiene kits on the 16th Street Mall. These include Spread Wellness Wristbands, hand sanitizer and a card on how to keep hands clean.
• Sanitizer Donations: Georgia-Pacific Professional is donating hand sanitizer and sanitizer stands to various locations throughout Denver, including schools, libraries and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children at P/SL.
• Clean Hands for Schools: Mo, Georgia-Pacific Professional VP of Hygiene and Chairman of Cool, is traveling to various schools in Denver to conduct hand-washing lessons with students and teachers during class. Robed in jiu-jitsu attire, Mo will visit classrooms to teach students the steps of proper hand washing. This is part of The Art of Washing Hands, a children's hand washing campaign, which features Germ-jitsu Mo. (www.TheArtOfWashingHands.com)

Everyone is encouraged to come by the 16th Street Mall on Thursday, Sept. 30, between 11 a.m.-3 p.m. to receive hygiene kits and to learn more about the Spread Wellness campaign.
