What makes you a champion? ACE Brand has teamed up with
reality star and weekend warrior, Ryan Sutter, to ask America this very
question with the launch of the ACE Brand Champion Challenge.
Beginning Wednesday, July 11, 2012 through Monday, September 10, 2012,
the ACE Brand is encouraging people nationwide to share stories and
photographs on ACEBrand.com/Champions
that demonstrate what makes them or someone they know a champion.

The first 10,000 participants of the ACE Brand Champion Challenge will
receive a free ACE Elastic Bandage in a limited-edition black or green
color that has been produced for this sweepstakes. Additionally, all
participants will be entered to win the grand prize of a $2,500 gift
card to help fund their next adventure, as well as a series of runner-up
prizes.
“At a time when the world will be celebrating the athletic triumphs of
the 2012 Summer Olympics, we wanted to bring attention to America’s
everyday champions – the weekend warriors who are dedicated to embracing
healthy and active lifestyles,” said Paul Conley, brand manager, ACE™
Brand Products, Consumer Health Care Division. “For nearly a century,
the ACE Brand has been committed to helping Americans maintain staying
active regardless of minor setbacks. Whether your story is about
overcoming a physical obstacle or committing to a nightly game of
basketball, we consider you a champion and want to hear from you.”
As a lieutenant in the Vail Fire Department and active father of two,
Sutter embraces being a “champion” in his daily routine by always
staying active so he never has to miss out on an opportunity. He will
kick-off the ACE Brand Champion Challenge through a personal video that
asks fans to share their champion stories and photos on ACEBrand.com/Champions,
where they will be able to find out additional information about the
challenge and share their stories.
“Being a champion has a number of different meanings to me. From taking
a hike with my kids to preparing for my next marathon or bike race, I
stay active and fit so I can always be ready for a challenge,” said
Sutter. “I’m proud to be involved in the ACE Brand Champion Challenge
and look forward to hearing the stories of other weekend warriors as
well as those who share a similar philosophy. Everyone can be a champion
– whether you enjoy a pick-up game of basketball with friends or power
walk on the weekend. I encourage people to participate, to not only
celebrate their achievements, but for a chance to win some great prizes.”
